Well for the first sanity check in 2 hr late start Tuesday - at least 3 of us are sane, oh wait a minute when you find out who you may question that last statement. ;0)
It is really hard for me to go to group support meetings etc... at night. The only way I could figure out to get at least a toehold on sanity was to find some people who could meet during the school day - when I'm sorta free. So it was such a relief to have Kari and Claudia show up (before me!) truly I didn't expect anyone to come.
Life for me right now is chaotic and only a small part relates to my girls, tomorrow promises to be a crazy day for me, alot of driving and sitting at clinics, on one hand I am glad that I can be there for my parents and sister on the other... well sometimes it gets overwhelming being a caretaker for multiple family members yet having no real say in anything anyone does. I know my folks appreciate my being there and that is where I want to be. I struggle with my sister, only because in her there is no true thanks, just this expectation that everyone needs to take of her and its our fault when she makes bad choices.
Here's a good one for you - tonight after my girls therapy session, the therapist came out to check in with me and told me, for real, that I should be a psychologist - - - so much of what she is telling my girls, my girls are telling her that Mom already said that! Anyway I looked her in the eye and said that well I am number nine out of 12, and I'm really not a people person. She smiled and laughed and again told me how knowledgeable I am etc.... What is going on here?

That is awesome, glad you got together!!! And glad you found your 2nd calling. Can I make an appt. for Akila? :)
Not a second calling - my folks have mentioned it a time or too, I'm just not sure I'm up for the schooling, the time or the emotional burden. That and I'm really not a people person.
