And, um, my son had a moment in a supermarket and,
that uh normally everyday life I could deal with but you know having to carry him out the supermarket screaming was not I just didn't have the capacity for it at that point and I remember getting back into the car and just all this emotion coming out and I think it was because I was carrying so much stress at that point you know the all the uncertainty and not knowing and so when those moments happened I kind of allowed that and um you know forgave myself for for all you know my kids were sort of like we've broken her

And it was just, you know, it's just those moments of emotion coming out. And I allowed that to happen. And my husband was great at, you know, kind of comforting me through that.
