[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you deal with it? Between my work, dh's work, teens who are moody and about to start the college process X 2 I feel like I am a stress sponge, constantly have something aggravating me, that I need to address. My vacation will be visiting my parents and honestly it feels like a chore as well. I love them but it won't be relaxing or something I am doing for myself. Not sure how I keep going like this all of next year.[/quote]

I have been there and you need to take some things off your plate so you don't emotionally explode and/or develop health issues. If it drains you to see your parents, see them less for shorter periods of time and send more cards, happy texts with good news and other things to show you care, that won't drain you.

I started revamping things. Even if a friend is draining, I simply saw the person less and found the comfort zone where I didn't feel like the life was sucked out of me. I;m sure part of it was me not getting enough sleep and being on edge. So, it was best for our friendship that I just step back a little so i too can be at my best. Your parents can enjoy time with you more if you are not stressed out. Find the right amount of time and visits that you won't dread it. [/quote]
