Guilt

Hi, 3:21 in the morning and I been half awake all night with my nearly 9 years old boy. He got the flu and I do as well. I been singing, massaging him, and kissing for hours, but I can shake the feeling of guilt, and sadness out of my body becouse I want to stop and go to sleep.
My chest really hurts. I feel that I should be giving more after all he is a miracle. I was abuse from the age of 8 till I run away from home at 18, move to another country, went to uni, work as a professional for nearly 20 years, have a husband for 20 years that lives me, don’t ask me way, but I am still here feeling so guilty about wanted to stop giving my son what he needed even after he felt asleep again.
Do I feel guilty becouse My life should not count? Is that just my childhood controlling my life once again? So tired of feeling guilty, sad and so ill.

try not to feel guilty, sounds like you’re doing a great job, you’ve turned your life around and have a partner and son who love you dearly, and who you love.
