Eh, you caught me at a bad VM lol. I was just venting out a bit, it's really not all that bad. It is a sincere blessing that I even have family to care for in the first place. Not everyone (and I should know after what happened to my mom) has the privilege of having such a supportive and present family. What I really need is to be reminded to be more selfless and grateful for the good fortune I do have and not wallow in the extra responsibility I'm shouldered with. Plenty of people would give a limb to be able to bring those lost members of family back and I should have the grace to appreciate every (even every trying moment) I have with them.
I.. It's just tough because here I am, a 27 year old whose neither trained to equipped to deal with two 90+ people. So all I can do is my best and love them unconditionally and make their time here just a little bit easier.
I hate when I get all bitter about things I should be grateful for. Makes me feel like I'm not a good person.. And like you said it has brought those thought to the forefront again. With the xanax bottle and my grandmother-in-law's pain pills so close at hand. But luckily it hasn't come to that and I'll be sure to say something to my therapist if I feel I'm at risk. One thing I did once all this drama started was get a therapist too so I have a professional to fall back on if I'm feeling particularly weak.
As overwhelming as it is, I do have Nick and other family to lean on. And over Christmas break I've got time off from the grandparent-sitting since other members of the family will be around and the appointments I've been covering for are cancelled until 2018! So "Jo gets an actual damn rest" week starts soon enough! Then I get to focus on fun things like making cookies and PLAYING MY NEW NINTENDO SWITCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I'm balls deep in Skyrim right now but assuming you have a switch Nick's got Splatoon if you ever want to run a few multiplayer games! Odyssey is INCREDIBLE too!!
But, you know me, my Monster Hunter obsession is still full swing hahaha. :p
