I know exactly what you mean Vicky, my older brother has severe memory problems and learning difficulties because of his epilepsy and DS and younger brother both have autism. You can imagine the chaos when my dad died suddenly after an accident! Mum had been diagnosed type 2 just 3 years before and was already registered blind so she wanted to help but couldn't! Dad was self employed, he had his own cleaning business so it was left up to me to sort things out with the Inland Revenue and the solicitors who were working on dad's probate! I think my head started spinning Exorcist style at one pointThat's what we are here for -support.
I need my fair share, as you know.
I think it just feels a little bit easier once you've typed it out on here. Not so alone.
My sister and mum are flapping about my sister housemove today but I cannot carry them. I have enough on my own plate, which they never want to know about.
I used to always put people before me. No surprise my diabetes went que wiff.
Life is settling down after our horrific move from the South to the North with a baby, 7yr old and 2 cars. The 2 vans had to fit in a garage, spare room, loft and us all in one bedroom. Relocating to the correct property wasnt easy. We are enjoying our new home and im just starting to settle down - diabetic wise.
It does get better! Different problems but not so skint.
I feel guilty not being available for my sister but she has more support than i got with my horrific move.
They are younger than me for a start. No children or pets and no diabetes.
Her and her husband are in their mid 30s and act like my kids. Eat kids treats and need carrying in anything they do. I wonder when they will grow up?
My kids need me more today, they should understand that but no......
I'll help when i can. I always do. i cannot help myself.
Ive realised one thing if anything happens to my mum. My 2 sisters arent mature enough to be of any use. It will be up to me to do the serious stuff. They both will be faffing with the flowers.
Why does the middle child feel they have to be the glue in the family? Or is that just mine?
Sending you massive squishy hugs, I'll be thinking of you xx
You are one strong lady @Diamum5972 . Your weight loss and bg achievements are outstanding. You are an inspiration!I know exactly what you mean Vicky, my older brother has severe memory problems and learning difficulties because of his epilepsy and DS and younger brother both have autism.

It's a good idea to take a step back, Vicky - they're never going to grow up as long as you're always there to lean on!That's what we are here for -support.

Hope everyone is in good health, and you all enjoy your day. Sending You - Arlene @amgrundy big HUGS and anybody else who needs one today. I got a 6.0 fasting today @ickihun - Vicky and I am so pleased with that, so think I will keep at 44 units Insulin for another 3 days and then decide. @13lizanne - Anna have a good lunch with Hubby and Son.. R and I going out this afternoon - don't know where yet? But, I am sure there will be a Garden and/or Garden Centre involved? How's the garden doing @mo53 .
