[QUOTE="Fran, post: 318540, member: 3"] Sending hugs. Don't feel guilt. As someone who has been in this boat for a while, I know that in order for caring for a parent to work there has to be balance. Your kids need you, your husband needs you,your students need you and mom needs you. All important so it's just a matter of immediate need for you to put your attention. Mom is safe for now and it's more important that she has someone who will help her at home until she is strong enough to manage on her own. This allows you to be a responsible teacher/employee, take care of things with the kids, husband and your home. Seems reasonable to me. When all is said and done, then you make a point to find an hour or two to take care of yourself. Trying to do everything usually means nothing is completed or done right. I figure everyone in my circle get short sheeted at one time or another for me to give everyone else what they need. Don't feel guilt. Do the best you can to put balance in your life. [/QUOTE]
