[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622360, member: 1550"] in my opinion you are giving up your own life to try to take care of too many people and that's why you are so overwhelmed and worn out. I admit I'd never take on that much. I know my limitations. It doesn't matter what other people do. Think about what you want and how you can make it happen. And think about some things you can do to relieve your stress. No one person should have to take care of the entire extended family. You are a good-hearted person and probably a doormat (don't be offended..I was once more than just a doormat; I was a CARPET for everyone to walk all over...lol). I had to learn that if I didn't stop thinking I could fix everyone else, I will not only destroy myself, but be useless for even my own kids because I'd end up in some Funny Farm trying to take care of the patients there...lol. Be good to yourself and think about what you may be able to do to cut down on your load. There are other options for your father and mother besides relying on you. Frankly, I'd never want my kids to nurse me...I'd rather be in assisted living or even a nursing home than make their lives stressful and miserable. The only thing stopping you from going back to school is you are over obligated and over committed. You are young and perfectly capable of going back to school AND YOU SHOULD. I'll bet your friend is just as stressed, depressed and worn out as you are, but she may be better at hiding it. Nobody wants to spend life without having one while taking care of every aunt, mom, dad, cousin, friend, etc. It isn't right. JMO :) [/QUOTE]
