Empathetic Ear

Hello Everyone:

It’s still cold but not windy anymore. Thank goodness. Once again I got roped into going with mum to another appointment. I so hate them and I’m not shy about saying so. I so wish someone else what take on some of the work I do. Mum is clinging to the idea that the carer will start work next week but until she can prove herself reliable, then I’ll ease. I got a chance to speak to the doctor a little today and explain her my situation. Mainly what I’ve saying or shouting about for the past however long is I want a more equal distribution of the workload. The doctor seemed to understand my situation.  I just wish someone would do more than offer an empathetic ear. Mum’s attitude is when you finally land a job and move out, you can just do what you can. What she doesn’t understand is I need a support network now so I don’t feel so overwhelmed. I don’t expect her to totally, if at all, get what I’m getting at. In the meantime, I’m just so tired and isolated. I feel like I’ve hard set aside my needs to look after mum. I just want some help.
