My mom sent me a link to this post, knowing it was something I'd need to read.<br /><br />I was hit with delayed PTSD in early 2011 and forced to leave a high paying career in IT to recover and cope as best I can (with insurance coverage denied). It has been so difficult to see the things I *do* contribute to our family, because the scale and type of my contributions has changed so dramatically. When I was first off work, I couldn't even put my own dishes in the dishwasher after supper, but now I manage all the meals and cleanup ... so yeah, I'm contributing more than I was, and it is good to celebrate that.<br />Thanks for the reminder. :)<br /><br />(You may know who I am ... your father was pastor at the church we attended when I was very small, in Lively - and I have very vague memories of playing at your house sometimes!)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892085037131749502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735240.post-5930756985142284282012-11-06T10:45:36.160-07:002012-11-06T10:45:36.160-07:00Our kids all had part time jobs when they were in ...Our kids all had part time jobs when they were in high school. It was to help them save money for university as well as for their own use. Their own money meant we had to spend less of the family income. I made sure I supported that by driving them to work, picking them up, and making sure they were well fed before they took a shift. I think that's a way to contribute as well.Kim Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636800185288441620noreply@blogger.com
