[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think disengaging makes good sense, OP. I've been there and all I can say is: YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK THIS TIME WITH YOUR KIDS. Choose your kids every time. [/quote] My mother chose caring for my grandmother over our immediate family. Looking back, she similarly had very little help from siblings and was obviously burnt out. That said, she had very little interest in my life - probably due to being exhausted - and thus my dad became my primary “person.” I never really developed a close relationship with her and now see her a handful of times a year at best and our communication is strictly through text. My lack of relationship with my mother is my life’s greatest sadness. So yes, OP. Choose your family and children.[/quote]
