Reached out to my sons ped through the patients portal about some of the mental illness challenges I face daily...

Theres some stuff I just can't seem to talk about at his checkups with his fathers presence. His father prefers to pretend that things aren't worth worrying about or that they don't happen/exist. Like issues Mowgli may be having with speach and his vision. Or my inability to focus or days where I feel utterly disattached from the world my duties and my overall self.

I am really thankful that I reached out to her. She gave me some resources to look into for both myself and Mowgli. Ones I never would have found in my own research (and trust me when I say I've been doing copious amounts of research!)

And after telling my husband, he was actually pleased to hear that I took those steps.

We had a conversation a couple weeks ago before I took that action and I told him I would prefer to have a medical professional tell me I'm being paranoid than have some really bad news hit me in the face later on down the line.

I'm glad my message got through to him and that he took the news and info I shared with him to heart without being his typical disagreeable self.

🙏

So I will end by saying If you are struggling with conditions beyond your control or have questions about your child and can't see eye to eye with your SO- talk to your children's doctors anyway! They have the power to help find you the info that you need or the answer to your questions! Utilizing the online platforms does wonders!
