vent/ trying to keep it together...

foreverapartofme · June 2014

This has not been my year! In a nutshell, I work full-time while trying to take care of my mother who had to undergo cancer treatments, take care of my daughter who has been hospitalized twice for a week at a time for pneumonia, care for my father after his triple bypass, care for my MIL who had cancer/ knee surgery, and now last two weeks of work before summer vacation and (33 weeks pregnant) my work decides that I am laid off after 8 years!

I just feel so exhausted physically and emotionally. Also, I feel like I haven't had any time to prepare for my LO who is due in July... To be honest, I wish I could just go away for a weekend and not worry about anything. Not sure if it is normal, but also anxious about how my DD is going to react to having a sibling and how I will handle juggling two little angels who need me, while also stressing out about being unemployed...

On a positive note, everything always seems to work out how it is meant to... so long as my children are happy, healthy- life will be great!

That being said, sorry for the vent but between hormones and stress I am just trying to keep it together!! Thanks for listening and sorry for complaining!!

Is there no one you can ask to help care for all of your family? SO, siblings, anyone?

You have yet to mention your DH/SO. What are they doing to help you with this? Why arn't you leaning on them more?

Busy week and haven't been on much! My DH does help when I ask him to with the sick parents and he has taken vacation time to stay home and help out. I tend to be a control freak and just can't let it go. He's very hands on with our DD all the time. I think just getting laid off after all this I feel like it was just the icing on the cake.

Your have a lot on your plate & being pregnant doesn't help. Sometimes you have to just take a step back & say sorry but i can't. You have to take care of yourself or you'll do nobody else any good. I know how you feel, its hard for me to ask for help too. I think i can do it all, but if theres ever been a time in your live that its ok to ask, l think now is it.
