My boy friend is not as understanding when its come to me caring for his mother! I feel like I’m being forced to care for her I don’t want to be responsible for her life any more! I have two young girls who I feel like I’m putting on the back burner, I am 700 miles away from family, and starting to feel like I’m being used by him and his siblings!
You can only be used if you let yourself be. The next time you find yourself in the trenches with her, suddenly remember you promised to take your kids to the park, zoo or library. School is starting soon. Gosh, they need help with their homework! There’s a PTA meeting!
You don’t need anyone to be “understanding”. All you need to say is “No more.”
You know what the situation really is and it is in your power to continue or to make your children your 1st priority.
Best of luck dealing with the truth of the matter, I know you feel you loose either way, but think of your children, the example they are getting from this.
Hugs!
