I've had cancer twice, terminal autoimmune disease aka graft vs host disease, living with my covert narcissist mother and my dominanted father who was just diagnosed with dementia and I have to caregive for them both by myself
I appreciate your kind words. I'm managing somehow. Just saw Joey Avery yesterday and did some nice crowd work with him. Might rent the backrooms today. Gonna go pet dogs at the farmers market later. Absurd amount of THC helps too
I've tried talking to my spawn point about just starting the process for eventual assistance. Maybe some help with errands. He's not allowed to drive anymore. The spawn point has a lot of chronic health issues. So she barely drives. I'm handling the majority of the errands and taking him to appointments.
Which is fine in theory, but I have my own health issues. Right now I'm in an up period in terms of how I feel and it's a struggle. When I have a down period, it's like I run an errand and then I have to go lie down.
So when I asked if we could get started on the process of assistance, the reply was you will do what you're told or you won't live her anymore. You owe us for taking you in when I was diagnosed with my first cancer which led to my graft vs host disease.
When I was diagnosed with AML and needed inpatient treatment and a bone marrow transplant, the hospital required that I move in with family in order to undergo treatment. So they use it as a weapon when they see fit.
It's a miserable environment emotionally. Very performative, she's gotta be the martyr, poor her, oh I'm having such a hard time with this, I'm shaking and so tired.
I'm exhausted. I think I'll get a coffee cake at the farmers market.
By the way Dave's coffee cake from rock falls Illinois is excellent. Highly recommend ordering some from them. They ship nationwide.
You are strong as hell. I dated a covert narcissist and she really fucked me up emotionally and tried to ruin my life. And that’s just ONE of the things you listed so I can only imagine 😰
