#Independence
I know i should be nice and warm to my siblings especially the one who does so, so, much for everyone- and whose daughter is presently involved in a divorce. This family member’s plate is full, so full.
I know I should be happy I am not bothering anyone. My husband has been doing what my siblings mostly have done in the past. I should be exceedingly happy I am not bothering them. Or my husband doesn’t bother his family- really don’t know how they would respond if he did bother them for help.
But it hits me right between my eyes what my marriage is. Just someone who is “ there” in the event of need. I really don’t think there is much more to it. It is sad to me. But I have to put my big girl pants on and realize it could be a lot sadder.
My husband and I simply are in it- so we can leave our families to their own lives- this is a good thing but hard to swallow at times.
This I should be happy about bc my siblings have done so much for me in the past
A negative that is hard to swallow-
But especially my husband’s family will inherit monies from us-and what will we get in return-all I can do is hope my husband gets care-I question this. I wonder if my husband will get anything-
And I still work when his family member never lifted a finger to - and they- his family - are going to get mine and my husband’s money some day-
They were not at all nice to me years ago when we bought our house-and eventually they ( my husband’s family) will get 1/2 of the house. . W/o me- we would have never had this house. one relative on his side was horrible to me about me wanting a house- w our money-!! After we went to all their smoke filled parties as his sibling’s kids were growing up- and i have emphazema. And i got sepsis from my copd - last fall where i could have died from— it helps to vent-I smoked myself- not at that time-but in life-I have to take responsibility-it ie best for me to stay away from them-because it is hard for me to hold it together when i have anything to do w them/ my husband doesn’t drive-let my husband take the bus-I am not his chauffeur-but i always drive him-
I am just a lot kinder -thanks for letting me vent-his family is very different from me- i have to let I go-
Be glad I am not bothered my siblings--
If he bothered his family- I don’t think they would do anything-
I have to let this go-
It is like i married a caregiver-and there isn’t much else
Well, it helps me to vent- i really don’t know where else i can-
