[quote=Anonymous]Intense exhaustion here. Work is nuts, my direct reports are about to double with no pay raise or admin support ; two teens/tweens both moody and now both in therapy ( one had had lifelong challenges, the others needs are new); now add my mothers chronic pain that no one can figure out and dementia and it’s too much. This past week I took off Monday morning and Thursday afternoon to try to get her pain help and she just yelled and cried about how horrible her life is. I’m responsible for her care she is in assisted living near me but I’m there sometimes daily. She called me at 6 am this morning (Saturday) crying and calls sometimes 15 times a day am d I have to silence my phone at work.. I can’t take it anymore. I’ve used up so much leave for her and kids. Dh helps but he’s got his own mother to deal with and he frankly has a job where he usually wfh 3-4 hours tops so he’s also able to work out, sleep run errands etc. I’d rather not drag him down too much, one of us needs to function [/quote]
