I'm trying to be a good mom. It isn't horrible, just didn't get any breaks, well almost none, for the past 2 and half years with him. He has one set of grandparents, and that's my mom and dad, and they are too sick to take him. He's 14, so kind of old for any programs that might be around (checked, he used to have a support worker but they can't find any in this small town.)
I'm mostly tired with my health, don't know of anything else for sure yet. My gp finally said "I care about you." hmph, I don't mind, but gee it kind of says something, that he didn't care before, because until I demanded help for the pain and the mri, he didn't write down my symptoms.
My dad is hanging in, but hints too much in not just words, but actions, that he isn't going to be around. I guess I've always known he gets very depressed himself. Mom is losing her appetite and has alzheimer's., so I worry about them.
I need to take care of myself but I can barely eat lately.
At least I'm doing the basics, getting groceries, bills paid, laundry and cooking for my son, and supporting him more with school. Life just seems too hard lately.
