(((((((((((((((((((ev))))))))))))))))))) you've been so giving. now, the giving is becoming a drain. your resources are low and they need built back up. i don't know that you can do that in a week's time, but i think it's mandatory that you try.

gl dear. ps-there's nothing mean about what you've described. my 25 yr old brother came to live with me after his hosp stay due to suicide attempt. he stayed with me three months. at that point, i told him that he needs to get busy at life again, no matter how scary. ( said alot more than that) i was kind and concerned. it's what he needed to get back on track (for a while). he attended the community mental health center and they helped him to find a place, furniture, the works. it was a good thing i did. i didn't expect him to do as well as he did, but like you, i needed a break!
