You are dead right!!!

It's my little daughter I feel for most. It's like her childhood ended in a split second. I went from the active, patient, fun grownup all her friends wanted for their parent to a fragile, limited, sometimes frighteningly tempermental Mommy Monster.

As I can't work, her material circumstances have also deteriorated. I know money isn't the most important thing, but try telling your kid that there will be no more dancing or music lessons with her friends.

Like you said, I struggle each day to improve so I can be a better parent to her. For all the effort, I usually come up short. I just hope I'm not doing too much damage and that when she's an adult she might at least understand how hard I tried.

Cheers
