Roller Coaster Ride

Our minds are our own worst enemies sometimes. I know mine is anyway. Literally 5 minutes ago I was thinking to myself how on earth I have kept myself together and that boy, I'm so much stronger than I thought. Not only am I dealing with the issues with my DD, but my terminally ill mother is now living with us and my father has been in the hospital for week with kidney failure and possibly prostate cancer. I didn't mention the ladder because I didn't want to complain and make this about me. But right now I'm having a hard to keeping it together. I'm beyond overwhelmed. And I'm so afraid I'm going to lose my mind and not recover.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Wow - that is a lot. Sometimes we mom's need some comfort too.     It can be about you here. Want to tell us about the ladder?

Dear ray,  I too was taking care of my ill parents at our house for 5 years when all of this craziness was going on with my d I always remember my mom saying  "oh my god I feel so bad for you " she was talking about my d the many times police came here strange boys sneaking into second floor me trying to keep her quiet from screaming banging as I write this  now I have no idea how I handled it my heart still breaks for my dad and mom they passed away .  I would get so upset at my d for acting like a crazy person I would beg her to stop for my parents sake but I know now she could not but my mind knew that but my heart would be screaming stop .  The only thing I can say is one moment at a time I have alot of resentment towards my d for that I know thats not right but    I am only human take a couple of deep breaths and try to enjoy your mom and dad I wish my  mom was here and dad god bless mggt
