Thank you Chloe. So relate to that feeling of letting go of perfection and also the style of boundary holding, one probably means two but not ten! In terms of food and TV (two triggers for my inner critic/perfectionist too), I am now looking at it from a weekly rather than daily viewpoint and that feels much more ok, manageable and realistic! xx
Thanks for these words, Chloe. And you're not alone in living with that constant tussle between fantasy and reality. What kind of mother do I wish I was/ imagine I am/ really am ... You know this kind of shit gets me right in the gut xx
