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!
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.
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.
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!
Both are obstinate and cranky. My escape time is going to the grocery store or running errands.
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.
In it for the long haul - hugs to you Cryssy2002!
However, your reactions are not unusual.
When you get to the point you are at, then it is time to see a health provider to see whether help can be extended to you.
You have a lot on your plate and since none of us are superhuman, we need to get help when we need it, but ideally to seek it before we reach breaking pint.
Apart from needing help with your overload, you sound ready for some respite.
Ask for help before everyone is asking, "Where did she go?"
You need a support group, and lost of understanding.
