good afternoon,
It hasn't been the most stellar of weeks. Gotta love the holidays! As well as the current family drama, there is the added stress of trying to meet and keep everyone happy through the holidays. My husband and I had dessert with our youngest child and his/her wife the other night. My husband is having difficulty accepting our "new normal" and his response is to not talk about it. Then it's not real... it's hard on me, but I get it. My daughter in law does not. She is very outspoken and debated with my husband until he was pushed into making a very negative comment about the future and their marriage. my heart broke as i felt my family dissolving. She started to push more, but I said that I couldn't take it and we left. I told my kids that I loved them, but I was overwhelmed at that point. I did tell my husband on the way home that I disagree with him. Then there is the added joy of the holidays! At this point, I have been pushed by my aging parents into having a Christmas Eve get to gether. Yay!!!! more work.. more strife.... more potential for disaster. So, at times I start to cry when I hear the wrong music, so I've learned to numb out with the pain pills left over from my surgery. I only take half of one at a time. But it takes the edge off for a while. I hate feeling like this.... I sleep in the chair most of the evening because I need a break from my own thoughts. I'm so tired... just keep swimming.... right?! |
