I have to be at my best & do my best! I love my elderly mom has demetia, diabetes, thyroid, depression, bipolar, and is disabled BUT SHE CAN WALK WITH A WALKER PRETTY FAST. She lives with me & my family. I care for my sister she has recently been diagnosed with cancer, my lil son is autistic w/adhd, & my beautiful daughter has Renal disease & has skin blisterlike cysts all over her head. Im TIRED/WORN out & have chest pains daily. I have no help at all. Im so not in control of anything. I cry daily, my mom is TOO NEEDY AND SELFISH AT TIMES! She tells anyone that I dont feed her, im not ever home, etc... WELL, DUH IM TAKING MY SISTER TO CHEMO ETC..., MY DAUGHTER TO RENAL DRS AT TCH , MY SON TO HIS THERAPIST TO HELP HIM BE LIL SOCIAL, AND I AM VERY ANEMIC. PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS ANY SIMILAR STORIES JUST ADVICE! Just listening! I DO MY BEST WITH THEM ALL I MAKE FOOD IN CONTAINERS WHEN IM NOT HOME. I JUST WANT TO RUNAWAY with my babies FOR A WEEKEND! But whatll happen to mom. I have to rest! Her needy aggressive behsvior is driving me to possible heart attack!
I take care of both my parents, I have 4 children, and 2 jobs, some days it seems like your not going to make it. Those are the days you need help. I will pray for you.
Both are obstinate and cranky. My escape time is going to the grocery store or running errands.
P.S. Where do you live? I wonder if your family's illnesses were triggered by environmental poisons. Fracking, nuclear waste, mercury, etc. There is so much of it out there and it is killing us!
your children are your priority, period. and maybe you should run away with your babies for a weekend, leave adult protectives phone number with your mother and pray she calls so when you get home they will have already taken her away.
Think about contacting them and see if they can help.
They are a caring organization and will help any way they can.
take care of yourself, you must.
