FM, you sound busy to me--very, very busy. My single mum friends who work and parent are overwhelmed. They have not dated in years--it's simply off their radar.
I feel guilty because I do not work--'just' parent, household stuff. I also feel jealous of them because they do not deal with (some fr*ggin') mental illness. I would trade off in an instant not to be dragging a millstone along with me since before my son was born (I did work into his 2nd year).
I'm working on working (sounds silly, I know).
Sex is so back-burner right now. Actually, it's in the freezer.
And I do mourn, get p*ssed-off, have any number of legitimate reactions concerning what I have lost, and what I have to rebuild, and what I have to compensate for, etc.
Hang in there FM. Maybe the desire for desire is a positive, albeit frustrating, sign? And frankly, I wish you didn't have to work and deal with all you do right now. I wish we could take something off your plate. Hugs!
