I am struggling with feeling inadequate in the care and time I have put forth to help my friend with her baby. I feel like she is relying on me like a spouse or partner. I was at the hospital from the Sunday, 15th to Wednesday, 3 am 18th After we got this little man here after 40 plus hours of labor and an C-Section unplanned...I bottomed out. So instead of coming back to the hospital I had to go home and crash for 10 hours. She was still very drugged and has expressed she felt hurt and disappointed like she had been abandoned. I don't feel like how I felt mattered which led to my abrupt self preservation decision. She is not in the right mind set for her to hear me. Any thoughts of encouragement or thoughts on a better way to communicate with her at this time would be much appreciated. #lostinmyownmind #Feelingunappreciated #iamanempath
