My sister and brothers all live close by, but it seems they've taken the attitude that I have it under control and my brothers have taken themselves out of the equation. My sister helps out when I ask, but it may be my fatal flaw...I have a really hard time asking for help. Feel like shows some sort of weekness on my part that I can't do it all myself. If I were just more organized. Or if I was just a better ____________ fill in the blank.
My brother, around Christmas time, told me basically that my job is to take care of my dad and I shouldn't let anything else distract me from my job. (like a man) That is so stuck in my head it's been hard for me to get past it. So, I try to do it all and end up doing everything half-a$$ed and doing nothing really well. For me, that makes me crazy.
Thanks ALL.
Well, at least this has kept my focus on dad and away from XH. That which we focus on expands. I need to stop focusing on LAUNDRY!
I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
