*^*^* Friday 3rd July - Daily Chat...No Sanity Required *^*^*

Gemmzie

Don't have anything to add but *hugs* bookie and parent/child roles and who looks after who is a changeable thing.
When I started opening the post and realising that the poop was going to hit the fan, I took on the boss role and had to tell my parents what to do (pretty daunting at 18!). It worked because they knew I cared and I had this wonderful lot to lean on.

A doctor once said to me about monkeys. Every problem is a monkey and they sit on your shoulders. Every person has a different tolerance for how many they can carry and other people's monkeys are lighter than your own. Sometimes your own monkeys get to much so you share it and then it's lighter.
Made perfect sense to me, and I still think of it. Lots of people here to share your monkeys with and then one day yours will be so light you can help lighten other people's again.
Your children will be happy to take on yours as you've done so for them for many years, just by being a parent.

And having found the problem the solution is to eliminate it, right?

No, that only works with men.

This is the time in your life when you need to put your trust in your faith. In fact you need to trust everyone who is close to you and who you believe in, that includes your parents, children friends and everyone else who is really there for you.

I've never met you but if I could buy every book in your shop, I would. Not because you are some charity case but because you are one of life's people who put good out there into the world. Your mum dad and the kids want to help because they love you. The best gift you can give them now is to let them because the alternative is to turn your back on them and that would hurt them more than anything else.

When my mum was dying I got to help her, physically and financially. She was a proud woman, she'd given us kids everything all of her life and that was really hard for her. She struggled with me paying her bills, keeping a roof over her head and food on the table. But, I was so happy to give her back a tiny bit of what she had given me, it made me feel good about myself and I loved her even more for letting me see her vulnerable and afraid.

I know it isn't the same situation at all, but this is your kids chance to give you a little back too and they will love you for it.
