Re: not coping

We do @outlander I can't see us moving until the kids leave home, and that will still be a long time. They have it too good at home! No rent, no bills, free food and their laundry done!!

Re: not coping

well if you ever decide to move you could always rent out where you live and go to another rental property if the time comes @Snowie

lol yes they do have a good life at home!

Yes they do have it too good. Maybe that is my fault too, I would be happy if they stay with me!

Re: not coping

Meds can help @outlander we just have to deal with the side effects. I hope in time you feel less tired as your body adapts more to the medication.

I hope work goes ok for you tonight and it goes quickly.

Rang helpline twice today. Thats been my day.
