Thankyou for putting my feelings into words with your piece on respite that I can see and hear objectively and give myself compassion. We have help arriving today for the first time in 13 months since my son starting having what they call in PDA circles meltdowns (I’d call it railing against a BS school system). I’m still not quite believing it, I saw a missed call on the weekend from her and immediately thought that’s it she’s seen how hard it is and jacked it in. But no, she’s coming. Good people are gold. Thanks Emily, hope you catch some more stars soon xx
Reading this post made me reflect more on what respite means to whanau who are managing extra workloads to provide support to those who need it in their households. And then it hit me, for some people, not having this support will be the end, the end of something, the end of maybe more than one thing, it will result in death, it will result in imprisonment.
I'm not sure what else to add there, other than to impart the fact that respite is incredibly important to the wellbeing of everyone.
