Damned if you do

Damned if you do

Just so over it right now!
Tried and trying so hard to support my daughter BPD to help herself into some kind of functioning state and I'm running out of puff.
So tired ... Working ..... supporting many people in my life , but this time I need some support.
Always afraid of coming home to find another Macabre suicide attempt .
I'm a loving supportive mum but I'm tired .....tired of coaching , training , picking up clothes , paying for everything for my adult daughter , tired of being the emotional support , the adviser , the carer of everyone. No one can really know the difficulties we all face .... But I just need a rest from this .
I'm trying to keep it all together but I'm exhausted 😒
