Talk to your kids about intrusive thoughts. They’re more common than you may realize, and they can be disturbing and scary. Kids don’t know what they are, and they aren’t likely to share they are having them. I cannot even begin to tell you the relief upon learning what they are-

My daughter (16) got a flat at work yesterday. Within the hour her boyfriend had put her spare on. She’s at work right now and I looked out the window and saw him putting a tire on. He went and bought one for her and she has no idea 😭 I love him so much.

During my divorce, a “really good” friend set up a date with my husband. I got upset, and SHE got angry. “You can’t have everything!” 🤯 I’d literally just lost everything. She said, “I could have had him at any time.” I said, “I imagine so. Turns out he’s not so picky”

Some of these clumps are so large that you think you’ve delivered the baby. As this continues, you begin to feel weak and disoriented. It is traumatizing and you are not in your right mind. It’s a literal slow death of your child; at least that’s how it feels.
