Feeling pretty good although I pulled a muscle in my back carrying a microwave in. Going to Drum Circle tonight and bible study and another meet up tomorrow. Getting back into having a social life. Seeing pdoc tomorrow. Feeling better so not sure I’ll bring up my slip up. I know, I know...I need to tell him.

This thing with my mom has turned into a full time care giving job for me and it shouldn’t be. She is in excellent health and when I catch her off guard she acts more than capable of caring for herself. It’s when she’s with someone that she acts old and feeble. As much as I love her, she is demanding, unreasonable and difficult to deal with. Her mother, Gigi, was the exact opposite and such a pleasure to be around.

I feel totally used up, taken advantage of and unappreciated. I’ve thought about talking to her or trying therapy. She is stressing me out and I’m exhausted and she’s making my brother really anxious which is not good for him.

I don’t know what the answer is but thanks for letting me vent.

Warm wishes and hugs to all.
