Episode 4 - The Mental Load

Having Neal at home, my role and life had changed.

I was responsible for raising the kids, advocating and caring for Neal and negotiating with systems that just didn't seem to understand where we were coming from.

I was tired. I was grumpy. I was resentful.

It all seemed so unfair, yet I felt guilty about complaining. Neal was the one who had suffered so much. What did I have to complain about? Even the thought of complaining about what I'd lost, filled me with guilt and shame.
