[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids need medication and/or specifically targeted therapy for their diagnosable disorders, then that's what they need. Tinkering around with building soft skills isn't going to help brains that need chemicals to manage anxiety or depression or ADHD or whatever.

I mention this because you're criticizing your poor kids for what sounds like serious problems, usually managed by experts, without mentioning the involvement of said experts.

You lack self-awareness about your own issues as well. Normal parents who get burn-out don't place all the blame on others. They just say: "I've got too much on my plate right now, with normal teen stuff and eldercare and work and nobody picking up the slack at home - let me get away for the weekend."

You need professional help yourself, OP.

OP acknowledges that she is on fumes and is feeling pulled in100 directions by people who rely on her to support them mentally, physically and emotionally.

She gets to feel frustrated with them. She gets to vent on an anonymous internet site. She gets to have fantasies of leaving. That doesn't mean she doesn't care about everyone's well-being.

How about when you pour immeasurable time, resources, providers, meds, and worry into your DC and they're still struggling. This is me, and yet I'm not chastising OP. We don't know what she has and hasn't offered or considered.[/quote]
