I am falling part at the seams…. I am caring for my elderly, narcissistic, in ill health parents… I have lived with them in my home cramped and lacking any privacy for more that 380 days… Three hundred eight days ! My marriage have been destroyed my family, irrevocably destroyed… I have made the decision to move out with my parents to get the space and privacy we need and deserve… My heart cannot handle walking away from a marriage… Walking away from my son in his senior year of college…. But to give dignity to my parents I have no choice ….. I am losing my mind…. I am pleading for clarity …..
Anguish
I cannot express the level of anguish and magnitude of angst I have found myself in … I worked against all odds to achieve a level of peace and happiness, only to have it all yanked away…. My life is hell on earth, with my family forced into a state of disconnect, discourse and disrespect for the glass half full… I just do not see how much more I can endure and bounce back…
Feeling big changes to alter the negative influences… I can only handle so much alone… May as well be my own team!

I find myself in a perpetual cycle of doubt, turbulence and guilt… It. Has been nearly 6 months since our lives have been forever altered by not fault of our own… The time has not made anything easier, in fact it has become more difficult…. The stress on my daughter is actually killing my soul a little everyday… I was raised in this turmoil, I grew in spite it if, and swore that I would not allow my children to battle the same hell… They are not prepared for this negativity, this constant battle with dread and despair. For me it is simply a reminder of where I came from and perhaps a question of if I am in face worthy or more than this after all… I am torn I do not know what to do … Allow others to take over care to save the sanity of us all… Or carry the burden and pay the price of guilt? I wish this on no one, and will learn to protect my own children from this situation….. Just when you think you have paid the price for freedom and joy, you realize there is a Lien on your Joy! There is more to pay…. What is unimaginable is why must my kids suffer for my hell? Perhaps, I will never know….
I am proud of the job I have done as a parent! I was thrown more curveballs than most and I know that the people I have raised are amazing human beings…
I have failed at one thing and I am unable to alter this failure… I do not deserve all the blame however I am left holding the bag of blame…. The loss of a parent is life altering even when many of the years of abandonment were by his design … I have not taught my beautiful smart funny amazing caring thoughtful gift of a daughter that she is worthy of so much more than I was able to give her…. I do not know how to tell her she must seek her true love and it is totally worth the pain and fear…. She will be the most amazing partner wife and. Mother that has ever been because of her journey …. Her empathy and compassion are unmatched! And my only wish is for her happily every after to begin sooner than later…
No matter how hard I try or how much I do ! It is always about you….
I deserve one thing to be about me for once… After working so hard….
