Parents' concerns about staying home

 

All household chores fall on one parent. In addition, it must also combine work, and the cost of treatment, consultations or travel to the hospital can deprive the family of all savings. At the same time, it is difficult for him to concentrate on any task, as he constantly wonders what is currently happening in the hospital. Indirectly accompanying a child in his illness can be extremely psychologically burdensome. Information from the hospital is delayed, uncertainty prevents one from sleeping peacefully at night, and the parent feels constant powerlessness. He would like to be there, hug the child and help him at all costs. He often feels that he is not enough support, he has remorse that it is the other parent who has to spend all days in a hospital chair.

 

Meeting a psychologist can help him understand that his role is equally important and that the task of looking after the home and the rest of the family, while not easy, is a great support for the other parent. At a psychologist, he will have the opportunity to talk about his doubts, fears and difficult emotions that accompany him on a daily basis, and which he does not want to burden other family members with.
