The Effect on the Family

MyKid is 10 and has become terribly clingy. He asks me for everything. It's like his independent spirit dried up.

At the same time, if I ask him to do anything, he's pretty compliant...except when he's not.

I wish this was over, and we could go back to the way things were. But, things haven't been the "same" for more than 6 months now.

First I was sick on and off, now for the past 2 months, I've been "recovering." But, it's not recovery to the family. It has meant living with a volatile female who's face is so distorted that even old friends sometimes don't recognize me. It's a wonder to me that both MyMan and MyKid can even look at me.
