[quote=Anonymous]If she doesn’t use this as a Come to Jesus moment, then she isn’t going to change. So focus on what you can control or influence. For you, I would recommend: Things in your control. Acknowledging your feelings without judging yourself. Define boundaries if you haven’t already. Do some scenario planning (if she gets sick again, do you go back next week? Next month? If she refuses your help when you get there, what do you do?) Influencing local resources. Can you schedule regular dates with those friends to server as advanced warning system? Can you find someone (PCP, Home health provider) to be on call for next time? Self care. Make sure you’re getting enough rest, nutrition, time to yourself, and time with your own kids. [/quote]
