[quote=Anonymous]I completely relate and sandwich generation issues threw me over the edge. I do find exercise, outdoor time, meeting up with a friend, date with husband helps, but I also had to set major boundaries.

I won't bore you with how I set boundaries on the elderly parent front, but on the parent front, I chose my battles and am more careful with favors. For my NT child I am over doing favors for her friend's parents unless I owe them or it's an emergency.

For the child with SN front, I throw money more at issues. The hoops you go through to get a mediocre service at the school are a waste. I'm over all the emails and calls and meetings to get an IEP followed when you have that 1 person who just refuses. I am done hiring advocates or a lawyer unless it is really stinking bad. I just get the service from a professional who's livelihood depends on doing a decent job. If a teacher or professional does a good job at school, I throw money there-a  generous gift card at the holidays and a thank you note to principal.

I figure I am in survival mode. I cannot fall apart. I protect my peace.[/quote]
