I know it's been a long while since you made this game, but I thought it was a beautiful representation of how one would feel in similar situations to yours and though it was a different than the first game, I think that this showed emotions in a really strong way of how one can feel lost, stuck with so many things happening and so many thoughts trying to get in, and with other feeling the same way too.
So this really was a great game in conveying those feelings and emotions and I really hope things have gotten better since then for you and your kids!
