I have also posted this in parenting, wasn't sure where was best.. I feel it's here now but you can't delete old ones so, here it is, sorry if you find it on both 😅

Parent-
Sometimes I feel like I’m doing this all wrong!
I know, you’d think I’d have it mastered after this long.
There’s times I hide away and cry and wonder why no one told me about this part,
Where all the people warning me that it was actually going to be this hard?

I love them so much and I know they love me too,
But when you feel like they’re happier without you, what do you do?
And I know I can’t blame them.. it’s not hard to see why,
How they ask for somebody else when they cry.

I try to tell myself this isn’t all true,
Don’t take it personally.. it can’t all be you! I can reason and see why some of this makes sense,
It just doesn’t make this awful belief any less intense.
