[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 364958, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]It's been a long road to reach this point ..... I've struggled with this decision, well, since husband died. A year & a half ago. I had to change my role after various & sundry medical issues. The teams were all over the place with their responses ~ anywhere from irresponsible to understanding & everything in between. kt is ready to step up & deal with her team ~ "I'll train them, mom" were her exact words. wm was less understanding in that he already believes that I do little for him. I appreciate all the kinds words & encouragement from each of you. Sue, Susie, 'Stang, each of you are right in your thinking. The tweedles are of an age where it is time to pull back & watch what goes on. AND I will step in if necessary. However I will not be there to "save the day" if you will. SRL, Shari, busywend, I'm finally beginning to see (after scanning mountains of reports & such into my computer) the amount of time & energy it's taken to parent kt & wm. I'm recognizing myself as a good parent who hasn't failed her children because there is no "closure" in the tweedles ongoing, chronic mental & emotional illnesses. No white picket fence ending ~ I guess I was always hoping for that miracle. To the rest of you I appreciate the hugs & understanding. It's been a long ride that isn't over yet. I'm just taking a backseat & starting to enjoy life a bit more. A round of golf here, a new painting there. I'm entering one of my paintings into the MN state fair. Let's see if I'm one of the 385 selected to display their art. I'll be around ~ hopefully more as I understand the long term effects of my brain injury & new coping skills.
