Having some calm time with them reading books seems to have done the trick @ArraDreaming
I reckon a microwave manual would make me got to sleep
Going to bookweek as a microwave would be easier than Grug 🤣

Thanks for tonight.

Remember, if you can't sleep, just read the micowave manual!

It sounds like maybe that is the new 'normal'??? @ArraDreaming Takes a bit of time adjusting?
I told someone about coming to bookweek as a microwave manual and they cracked up.
Anyway, I take my hat off to you with all that you are experiencing at the moment. You need a trophy mate!
Despite the frustration and the upset and hurt, you still take time to read them a bedtime story. You still spend time with them. You still love them.
Give it a few years, and I reckon you'd be an amazing First Nations peer worker. You can really help your people. But you gotta get through this tuff stuff first.
I have high hopes for you!
If there are times you need to step away - it's okay. It's okay that you need to take a breather.
