An engaging title, they say

So the blog template suggests I add an engaging title. And what would that be, to reflect my life today, on August 15th 2020? I could do a variety of titles, something like "Two years and five months after she came home" or perhaps a short, catchy title: "2020 Update". But they simply don't capture the reality of my life right now. It was interesting to read my last blog entry, about fear. Oh God, I thought that adoption-related fears would be the biggest thing I'd have to face in my life. Boy, was I wrong. There isn't a title that could accurately portray reality right now, but I'll give it a go. How about "of narcissistic abuse, becoming a carer and the family breadwinner (not to mention an unqualified expert on neurorehabilitation), parenting an adopted child, living through a pandemic and trying to remain afloat through it all." There is A LOT to unpack, as the title suggests, but this will be my attempt to do it. If I feel like it, because dear reader, as you can see, I have plenty of s**t to deal with.
