[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I don't understand your surprise at the situation, what i empathize with is the adjustment you have to make after years of kind of having the freedom to be self centered. For us, we knew it was coming, but its still one of those life moments that make you say "so, this is our life now." [b]You're right, its not the pain Olympics. But you do have to realize this is just life.[/b] [/quote] This. OP, you want to get on here and vent, fine. But this is not the place to come if you just want people to feel sorry for you. I have a friend who is having to care for her late 80s parents, her adult child with health issues and take care of her ES grandkids all while she and her DH have their own health issues. I get it. It's hard. But you will be mentally healthier if you can accept the hand you're dealt rather than yearn for something you don't have. [/quote]
