Re: Sleeping too much
I'm so sorry to hear what you have been going through.
Wow! You've been amazing how you've coped with it all.
I can imagine how drained you must feel.
I tried "saving" my family, but couldn't. I now know that it's not my job to. 💕
You are such a kind, caring person.
I had to break away from my family, because I ended up totally broken.
Look after yourself Tawney, you are a good person and you need to think of yourself too.
One of the hardest things I did was break away from my family and they really needed help. But, when I did, they got the help they needed, elsewhere. I was amazed at how much help there is from different organizations.
Every family is different and only you know what's right for you though.
Do what you feel is right Tawney.
Lots of love and hugs to you Tawney. 😙💜
🌺🌹🌼🌻🌸🌷

Re: Sleeping too much
I agree, wouldn't it be nice to meet such lovely, real people in the "real world". 👍💕

Dearest @Former-Member
What a good message. Yes, this has happened for me too.
Though @Former-Member your work with your family has been an eyeopener for myself in that:
you have shown good integrity
a good sense of someone who has 'recovered,'
being with your ill brothers and Mum and Dad.
Fond hello to you all,
Nighty night for me ( just finishing watching Kitchen Rules....I know..)

@Former-Member
You will be in my mind and my heart and my thoughts and prayers for tonight and tomorrow for as long as takes you to drive home and start your life there again
And things will never be the same
Yes - I have turned and walked out on my family and stayed away for years at a time - and even when my mother was snarling at me in her dementia - she wanted me gone so I left for 2.5 years
Our stories are different though - I thought your brothers were younger than their 50s - that is really tough - I guess it's no good telling them to grow up
Okay - I think this was important for you - you had to do it - and this time will be something you will reflect on for the rest of your life - I think you will see the situation more clearly now and realise that your love aside your energies are going into a bottomless pit and this is just so sad - so terribly, terribly sad
And I love you for what you have done - I could not have - I would not have - but you are a much better kinder person than I am -
I can't see the future any more than you can - but it will be different - you will cry I think - and maybe I know the uselessness of caring as I have - you have - many have - when the situation is just so tangled and strange
I'm so sorry. I am glad you are going home - I am sorry for the heart-battering and mind-bending you have been through. I haven't read the whole thread but I hope to at some time -
The Lord be with you

Re: Sleeping too much
That's a wonderful thought - @PeppiPatty
To wrap a clean, soft and cosy doona around someone in their dark hours
We have gathered around you @Former-Member - each adding our own thought - helpful or not - and I think you have been in Sydney for a couple of weeks of more -
What could I give you to help you go home - one of my owls perhaps - my thoughts and prayers though -
And of course hugs
Dec
