DB'ing is sooooo hard (part 2)

What a great exchange! This is so hopeful.

You should be so proud of yourself for your chill, loving but not over bearing response.

Also she gave a hint as to how to help - "I need to get my life organized and simplifed"

Can you afford a cleaning service once or twice a month? now they also have professional organizers? would offering this be too pushy?? Help her with her car mataintance so she doesnt need to think about? Order take out! Eat on paper plates. Send your laundry to the laundry mat for wash & fold or have your sons do the laundry.

Just some thoughts but I am sure that you know a million more ways to take the load off. Definitely dont go on vacation now she needs you to make things easy for her

So awesome that she gave you that hint. More amazing that you are sympathic to her crisis, that is hard for me sometimes
