Sadly, I’m a lactard.
But, if you wanted to wander over to my blog and give me some pointers, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
Just read your article on motherlode about balancing the emotional load of an unhappy aging parent and a young family. Thank you so much I went through hell last week packing and moving my mother. There were a lot of very critical comments on the article but many also totally got it. I look forward to reading more on your blog. It really helps to know we are not alone.
Thank you so much. I don’t write that much about it on the blog, only occasionally, but I’ve been writing more about it recently. I used to keep it all inside but once I started writing about it, I really just felt better. It’s a wonderful catharsis for me. And I don’t worry about what other people think, especially those who judge so harshly on a small snapshot. I know I do the best I can. It’s not easy. If you life it, you know it. Thanks for making me feel not as alone as well.
