They say I’m almost ready to go home...
I just have to handle and demonstrate a couple of things, do a few tasks. I’m out of the woods of a downward spiral, yes, but as an adult, I need to take these steps to take responsibility when it feels like life is spinning out of control.
My family, especially my kids, and my friends, I’m sorry you experienced this. It was never my intention to hurt you. It’s really got to deal a lot about me, and what’s going on in my head. I guess the best way to explain it is that head started playing tricks on me, and I reacted in the worst way possible.
I have to accept illness in my life, and that I’m only human. Try as I may to protect my children from all those hard things, part of life is knowing when to take a step back, for your sanity and your children’s. I will do everything in my power to come home soon!
In the meantime, Kids, careful with strangers, use protection, and be sure to get enough sleep and eat balanced meals.
