Feeling guilty for missing my daughters care times
Being in the NICU is the most stressful thing I’ve ever gone through.
I’m worried about her health most importantly, but also mine, bills at home that are falling behind, the fact that I’m homesick because the NICU she’s in is almost 2 hours from home for us. My husband has to drive everyday to work and we’re losing so much money on gas.
I’m so stressed from everything that I get away a couple times a day to the cafeteria/our temporary room (we still haven’t gotten a definite room yet which is another stress thing).
I sometimes miss her care times where we change her, put formula in her tube, etc. and I feel so terrible when I get back to her room.
Should I feel bad that I need some time to get away for a bit?
