U know how on airplanes they say put your oxygen mask on first, then help others? IMHO that's a great rule for life too. I'm older than u and still have to remind my self that if I'm not in a good place, I can't deal with somebody elses bad place. That what other people say especially when trying to make it all my fault is not reality. I am not powerful enough to have caused all the havoc in their lives.Thank god for voicemail, caller ID, texting + the off button on phones. Altho I must admit I miss all those dropped calls . But I still have a battery that can get low! I've seen too many good people hurt and destroyed trying to please family. I will help or just listen but only after I put my oxygen mask on first.
