[quote=Anonymous]You sound like a giver, OP, and you sound like someone who feels guilty when they can't give 100% all the time, and make the pain go away for their sibs and their family. You are a good person, but in these circumstances, you can't make the pain go away. It's not that kind of situation. It's okay sometimes to let the phone go to message (esp. when you are with your kids), to say "Let me call you back," to listen and double-task at the same time, to just listen without advice (because just listening is just fine), and even to say "I only have five minutes so give me the high points." It's really okay to set boundaries with people, even when they are in pain. They will still know that you love them.[/quote]
