Secret Fear #4
How do I take care of mom well and have enough time/energy to
*take care of myself
*have some me time to nourish my sanity
*tend to my marriage
*maintain friendships
And how do I handle the guilt that sometimes pops up when I steal away, turn off the phone and take a while for myself? I turn on the phone and find a flurry of calls from her.
The more time I spend with her in a situation like waiting for a new furnace to be installed, the more time she wants to spend with me overall. And the guilt ebbs back....
Sleep is a welcome respite,
