You are a kind soul who seems to want to take care of everyone and be everything to everybody. But!!! The most important person to take care of is YOURSELF If your parents sit around and watch tv all day and find themselves lonely, it is not your responsibility or job to make sure that doesn't happen. They have control over their own lives and can do what they want to do. If they decide not to put effort into finding new things to do or friends their own ages to associate with...it's not your fault!

You so deserve to have the time you need to work on yourself and your relationship with your husband. I commend you for wanting to do that. Finding the balance in life is not always an easy thing for any of us. At times we seem to be pulled in so many different directions and we loose our balance. Just remember that you deserve you!

I'm willing to be that when your parents see how responsible you are being, and how much happier you are when you can take care of your own issues, they will back down and relax a bit. At least I hope that's what will happen.

Hugsssssss
