Ahhh ... toxic self-reliance ... probably got us to where we are and keeps us from getting to where we could go. I've just committed to 365 experiences of asking for help ... not in one year but over time. Still in the teens but it looks promising. Thanks for sharing.

The leading example being our politics - in the US for sure, and it seems now pretty much the world over. We've lost the plot in so much of life by pandering to our extreme tendencies.

The current heat wave does not help any of us to balance our daily lives. You are not the first person/parent that has had to decide what which your life should go. There are plenty of parents that have to look at “Who can care the family” the easiest. This question has been around for many generations. Hang in there your kids will give you many moments that will give you many happy moments.
