Hey all! I am a single mum to two kids, 4 & 8. I have shared custody with my ex but since starting treatment I have been relying more heavily on him. I take the kids from Saturday morning to Sunday night and then usually one night a week (sometimes together and dad picks them up, sometimes I'll do one night each kid overnight). I love having them with me, but I feel guilty that it's not enough. I find that chemo-tiredness is really hard to ignore and push through, so that makes longer stretches of time with them complicated. Or doing the morning routine with them and getting them to school on time (we live a 20 min walk away) is sooo daunting, but I guess people do do it and I should be fine?

Basically between trying too hard and exhausting myself or resting and feeling guilty, I am having trouble dealing with things... please share your experiences or words of wisdom.

Thank you
