I'm MAD at all the things happening. There's too much going on at the moment. Too many pressures and something has to give. Something has to make space. Too much, too much, and we feel like we're going to explode. Too many expectations - the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect teacher, the perfect manager. Too many people saying that is what she is - but she isn't, and when they say that she has to live up to it. And the comments about stuff being her fault don't help either. We need a way in between, a path that says you are OK. You make mistakes but that is OK.

Just give a break. Give her a rest. Let her be. Don't expect that, because she does so much, she can do a little bit more. She is at breaking point.

((((((((((((Shula)))))))))))))))

you have every right to be mad. the expectations demanded of caroline are NOT fair. just so you guys know: Caroline is NOT perfect and she does NOT have to be. She is allowed mistakes just like every other human being. and mistakes are OKAY. they are NOT the end of the world no matter what other people say.

it will get better Shula but you are right to be angry. it is kind of you to stand up for Caroline when she needs protection. well said! MAD
