The therapy is making it hard to function and I feel bad for being such a crappy mom these past few weeks.
I have been trying to avoid being her primary caretaker, because I either have no patience or no energy for being attentive to her needs. My "run and hide" techniques for coping are making it almost impossible to be a good parent. I feel like I should explain some of this to her so she doesn't think I am avoiding her because of something she has done. She is 5 and I would like to avoid the "mommy is a little sick" kind of conversation because I don't want her to worry that I am going to die or get sicker.

Any ideas on how to talk to her?
