I really appreciate the affirmation. Yes, she has a good heart and good intentions. She's used to being the "Superwoman" and defying all obstacles put in her path and refuses to give up. Her results in the end are commendable. However, along the way she also makes horrible decisions. She signed up for a professional organization membership (7,000), a stupid social media training class (8,000) exercise equipment that she doesn't use (14,000).

I seriously don't know where she expects this all to end. I get stressed out super-sizing my meal at McDonald's (again, because I'm traumatized by almost going broke when I was manic), whereas she doesn't bat an eye spending tens of thousands of dollars.

I am a total wimp though. I am unable to stand up to her or anyone else. I get all tongue-tied and stressed out, and then whine when things don't go my way.

Gotta go. I've got 100 things she's thrown my way that I need to get through. It's ok though; it keeps me busy, and distracts me from focusing on what a failure I am, and how much I can't stand being around my family.

Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.
