[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you all! I'm 53, I have a 9yo with autism and my 78 yr old mom, who is currently struggling with a new diabetes dx (this is scary, we literally are learning as we go). This is after the recent passing of my Dad, who had parkinsons. Oh, and I work full time and commute 2 hrs a day!

Thankfully Mom and Dad were prudent financially (modest, but will be fine). I live nearby, but am considering moving in (I'm divorced). I go there daily and don't have enough time to maintain two households. For example, just yesterday I was there and happened to go into a spare bedroom-to find the carpet wet! The ac unit in the hall closet next to it was overflowing. There went my day off-I got repair over and dried up the rug best I could.

I'm off today also and can't even get out of bed, I might be a little depressed not sure.
 My one sibling lives far away and travels a lot for work and doesn't help much.

Glad to vent here lol[/quote]

You are 53...with a 9 year old...and divorced?! Who thought having a child at 44/45 was a brilliant idea?[/quote]

Does it bother you when you realize you're flinging criticism at strangers who are almost certainly nicer people than you?[/quote]
