So some of you may know my story already but for those of you who are just reading one of my post ....My name is Sarah am 23 I have been caring for my mother for the last five years, I have developed health issues, depression, a all in all abusive situation and Im ready to leave home and venture out on my own only things holding me back is guilt feeling selfish because somewhere in my head, and heart I feel like Im abandoning my mother......thats just a quick summary of all thats troubling me....so Ive been trying to get my mom set up for home health with little to no cooperation from anyone....so I was out with my father and my sister for lunch today and my dad told us that he put in for his retirement today so I am absolutely thrilled, now I dont feel guilty I am just happy, I can go without any feelings of guilt or shame...I am just happy to be able to get away from the situation without anymore pain, knowing that my mom will be taken care of and I just feel I dont know Im smiling again and I just wanted to share that with my new friends....thank you guys so much for your support...Its crazy how complete strangers can be so nice to me, understanding, and loving....
