I will reccomend this as well as your divine catharsis to others i come in contact with during my daily work.Arabella Raynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560587352963390501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085273482523094761.post-34921585387341912292009-09-30T00:51:55.516-07:002009-09-30T00:51:55.516-07:00Steve, I can say I totally understand, and I had s...Steve, I can say I totally understand, and I had started the same process with my Mom and Dad recently, but I also realized, I was resenting the fact that I was putting my life on hold. Things have changed a little for me, because my Dad who was cheating on my handicapped Mom, wanted to come back home to her. I was caring for her day and night. I was worn out and I had to seek mental help. Psychiatrist and therapist, wanting a drug to take away the pain and guilt for feeling resentment, but also wanting a drug to keep me going, because I wanted so bad to be the daughter I needed to be. Little help from my sister or brother. Mom was going to Divorce my Dad and she still may. Such a shame after being together for almost 60 years themselves. <br />Never feel guilty for taking care of yourself. Some things and situations are just out of our hands, you have to let some promises go, we are only human. <br />I totally understand your turmoil my friend. <br />Life isn't fair, but we do the best we can.Teresa Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643017557040654381noreply@blogger.com
