So, it's okay for her remaining children to witness her daily meltdowns? I don't ask that rudely. I can't put myself in her shoes but I can imagine what it would be like seeing my Mom lose it everyday & I'd be pretty fuckin' scared, worried, probably have feelings of insecurity, I'd be petrified. I think it's asking too much of those kids to be understanding at this point, they need their mother.
Well my child had to watch me have panic attacks & that's of course not what I wanted but did learn that it's never ok to hold back natural emotions, rather they be sad or angry. She has a right to be angry. Her sons, especially the 15 year old one, I'm sure are already feeling scared, worried & insecure...all normal emotions. I do definatly think that they could all benefit from some professional counselling. In fact at this point I would, if I were in their inner circle, be encouaraging that 1st & foremost. Having said that, Maytee is, above being a mother to the 2 remaining boys, also human. So anything she feels right now I don't think is going to beneficial in the long run to hold back. The boys I think, need to know that it's ok to be angry & alll of the other emotions too
