Are in, they're zombies. Get their kids to school, barely be able to engage with them, feed them properly. They don't get out, they're not active. Maybe they're just driving them to this activity, to their friends, to school, back from school and barely getting them bathed and fed and in bed after homework. And then it's sitting and numbing until they, they pass out or fall asleep and do it all over again. That's, that's not a good way. It's seek out the help, seek out the group, seek out the community, call a friend, share it, seek out a coach, seek out some sort of mentor, somebody that can just tell you, yes, this is hard, but you need to do something to start getting over it, to start healing, to improve yourself so that you become more resilient or regain that resiliency because you just, just got crushed, your future got blown up. Everything you had planned for was pulled out from under you. Everything you thought was happening is no longer happening and we have to pivot. And for me, change is hard, acceptance is hard. And, and in, in my course, I have an eight week online course that I, I teach and the first module of the first of three is, is all about experience, acceptance. It's all about accepting your situation and stopping the self destructive behaviors because that's just, it's not conducive to growth and healing. Very powerful. Thank you. Heish.
