[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, when you are this sort of person, you tend to not seek out people who are caretakers...you have to learn to accept help and care--easier said than done. Hard to know who this could be at this point--the dynamic with your children is probably set for now--they likely won't shift to a caretaking role until you are much older. Your husband seems like a lost cause. And you already have dynamics with old friends. Making friends with new people who will start taking care of you at 50 seems like a remote possibility--people tend to do this for people they have known and not new friends. Best options are probably to (1) lean into old friendships and see if those might shift a little and (2) consider trying to evolve your relationships with your kids as they get older to be two-way streets. Those might have some room for movement. [/quote]
