Re: rough time

Maybe in time @outlander they will come to see you in a different light. Maybe they never will. We either decide to accept some relationships as they are, or we let them go.

It's this acceptance that makes being with these people a little easier, a little more tolerable. Of course it doesn't make every rosy and bright, you just place less emphasis on their hurt so you don't feel so distressed.

Sorry i fell asleep @Sans911 thank you. Yes your right acceptance is helpful even if its hard to do or takes some time to accept.

Thank you 💜

@Former-Member morning 👋💕

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

Good morning @outlander 💜💜

Wanted you to know I read your posts last night about what your Mum said to you. I agree wholeheartedly with @Sans911 in that what your Mum said to you says a whole lot more about her than it does about you. I'm disappointed that she could be so insensitive and seemingly bitter about it. I would be extremely hurt if someone said that to me, so I understand your confusion over it. As for keeping friends ... it isnt easy for anybody, but even more difficult for someone in your situation where you have caring responsibilities for most of your extended and close family. If your Mum genuinely thought you could not keep friends, she should give some consideration to freeing up some of your time perhaps. Sorry ... just my little rant. It makes me angry that your own Mum could be so needlessly cruel and seeming desire to hurt. Many of us have few, if any, people we could call friends. Often that is by choice. I know its easy to say, but please do not take your mothers hurtful words to heart. Clearly they were designed to cut to the quick ... for some reason likely only known to herself.

I hope that made sense? My thinking is a little all over the place the past few days. Feeling kind of rattled. One of the reasons I havent been posting much. I am reading and listening though. And sending you warm wishes and a hug if you would like one.

Sherry 🤗💕

Re: rough time

thanks @Former-Member that makes sense. it was quite hard for me to hear. still abit upset over it but im ok. frustrating for me too. its easy for others to complain but rarely do they want to help or see a way for themselves to change too. tired still. pops on his way home now so abit anxious

Re: rough time

Yes @outlander I'm sure you would be a little anxious about your Pop returning today. At least you have both had a chance to take some time out for the past few days, which can only be a good thing. But if things get out of hand or too much for you @outlander , dont hesitate to arrange to take him to see his GP and try to get further help asap. Your GP will guide you on what can be done and how to go about it, when it comes to providing the professional care your Pop may need from now on. And if not right now, likely in the very near future.

At the very least, I hope his absence from home over the weekend will make him realise what a great job you do in caring for him. He will surely have a greater appreciation of all that you do for him on a daily basis. I hope thats the case at any rate.

Sherry 💜
