Many of us, myself included, come from a dysfunctional family which adds a lot of weight to the challenges of caregiving. I have read stores on various threads on other topics and decided it would be good to have a thread just for this topic for people to share, vent and discuss.
The idea for this thread originated on the thread named "The Caregiver....How are YOU doing today?"
“You know how to tell when someone is miserable with their own life? When they look for ways to destroy someone else’s.”
today's wisdom quote:
"Don't feed the flying monkeys."
"I am convinced that the hardest language to speak for some is the 'truth'."
"Beware the person who stabs you and then tells the world they're the one who's bleeding."
"No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them."
“One of the best lines in the movie ‘9 to 5’, which should be told to every Narc on a pity party (‘Honey, get off the cross, we need the wood.’)”
My father wants me try and reconcile with them, but honestly at this point, I can go either way with them. You don't need a lot of hatred at my level of cancer, you need support.
Follow your gut, do what's best for you!
