[quote=Anonymous]We have three living, aging parents. We have kids at home. I think about this a lot. When I think about how DH and I are already just hanging on through our responsibilities, it's draining. The answer is boundaries, which I can manage on a practical level, but mentally and emotionally it's hard to turn down the worry or the problem solving in my head. And everyone reminds you to take care of yourself, save some energy, let things go. But when I do that and care for myself, it feels like everyone senses the bump up in my energy or time and they fall apart even more. Like, Hey, she has more to give us! I'm sorry, but what the f**k is that?[/quote]
