[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live half an hour away from my parents. I see them 4 times a year, away from the house, and take them out to dinner. Just me, and we leave my husbands and kids out of it.[/quote] Do you ever get over that feeling of “I wish things could be normal”. I just wish I had normal parents. I wish my husband could have normal ILs. I wish my kids could have normal grandparents. Especially around the holiday, you see so much “normal” and grieve that you’ll never have that, and never did. [/quote] I think very few people have healthy. Especially as parents age. Just do a search on videos of daughters taking care of their elderly moms and having to hear abusive words all the time. Or the reverse where elderly moms have to put up with verbal or even physical abuse because they can't defend themselves. Lower expectations and have higher expectations for yourself.[/quote]
