This hits close to the heart my kids went though all this with me until my daughter at 17 came to me and said Mom I can’t do this no more your suppose to take care me and all this time I have had to take care of you. It was like Oh my God what have I done to you go don’t worry about I will be OK and I was because I just had to take care of me don’t get me wrong they came over and cooked for on a good day and I will always cherish those days. But it caused a lot of damage for both my kids. They went into drugs and all else that you don’t want your children to go though. My wonderful son went to jail for drugs and has had two bad marriages. My sweet daughter did the same thing except she went though a lot of abuse and she now is bipolar now even sick I am trying to give back I have her four kids and they are doing really good I have had them for 7 years and no matter how sick I am I try to be strong but it so hard I am lucky because I have a wonderful husband that helps me so much. I use a cane and it helps but one time I wanted to use a motorized grocery cart and he said you don’t need it you have me and I do have him for 16 years. Guilt is something I will carry forever it just never go away you shed a lot of tears but then I think lucky I am to have the people I have around me and all I can do is the very best I can. One more thing my 11 year old called me into his room telling me he wanted to show me something and when I got to his room he weld up with tears in his eyes and said Grandma can we hired those people that come into your house to clean tell me the guilt will stop. Never will…. Phyllis

My kids are grown now but I remember oh so well. My guilt now is that I don’t do a lot of “family” stuff to get everyone together like we used to. For example we don’t host family cook outs much anymore because it’s just too exhausting and I can’t plan ahead anyway. So we meet at inexpensive restaurants once or twice a month. There are always concessions and compromises. But that doesn’t always make the guilt go away. Easier said than done!
