Once I had the diagnosis,
it was difficult,

the beginning for them to hear that

because they always saw
me as this like super mom

that could do anything.

But they didn't know what was
going on behind the scenes,

the whole time I was being the super mom,

they didn't they didn't see
the the the nights of crying

and feeling bad about
myself and binge eating

and binge drinking.

They didn't see all those things.

Once once I was diagnosed
and they learned about it,

it was tough at the beginning,

but now we've smoothed it out

and they can talk about
their own feelings with me

and it's been very
helpful for them as well.
