How do you cope with the constant emotional blows?

Added weekly therapy when my dad died. Cut back to once every two weeks after a couple of years.

After covid I put Yoga in the mix. I'm much happier with yoga a few times a week. Gets me away from my older mom I care for.

Same. In my late 40's and realized I have always been there for everyone rescuing them from their problems and when I need people the most no one has been there for me. Eye opening and I will never put anyone else first again and have removed myself from the sick drama that has been my life with them.

I’m 39 and recently realized that my mom and extended family look to me to solve their problems and help financially while no one even cares to send a birthday card or a text to me or my daughter. I’m done as well. Enough is enough.
