Broken Heart…
A fat lip in need of ice…and not understanding that ice helps.
This is the dilemma I just went through. Tyler, in one of his temper tantrums, hit his face on one of his toys and caused a bloody lip. I had to pin him down in order to put ice in a washcloth to stop the bleeding. I walked away with a couple bites as well as bruises. But those don’t hurt as much as my heart. Tyler just doesn’t understand that I was trying to help him and not hurt him. This torture had to last for 5 minutes to get the bleeding to stop. I was afraid it might need stitches but he is ok. Unfortunately now he wants nothing to do with me, even though he did snuggle up on my shoulder. I fear he is scarred. I wish there was a way for him to understand. 
So he moves on and his playing with toys while my heart aches….
