I've been thinking about my daughter and grandchild alot lately and wondering if I should text. I'm always the one to do so, actually my daughter did wish me a happy birthday last month but with no pictures of her baby. It makes me feel like a monster. I try not to dwell on it bcz it brings me back to how I lived my life in the past, in survival mode and I guess my children were casualties. My heart breaks.

Hugs. Text anyway. She may not respond but text anyway. *hug
 
Been really lazy lately. People say I should take the time off to heal but I have Christmas presents to finish and work is important because the circuit boards need to be shipped but I’m just lazy. But it’s been nice to sit with the cat and just relax. Retirement is looking rather appealing right now but can’t occur for another 2 years.

I bet the 2 years goes by quickly. I do hope you're feeling better too.

I feel like I want to snap. Last night my mother decided she could not sleep, screw everyone else she sat in the sitting room right outside our bedrooms listening to reality tv on full volume until after 4 am, you know what normal people do, use headphones, keep the volume low, or do it in the privacy of their bedroom. Not her. Then she woke up before 8 am and she had been walking around with her cellphone blaring reality TV since then 14 hours ago, it had not stopped at all. I honestly cannot take this. Tomorrow I am thinking I am going out I am going to buy her some earphones (I have tried many times before) and I am going to give her an ultimatum use them, or I am going to take your phone and smash it. Because this is not just today, it is every single day and I do not get a break at all.

I hope healing finds you @Lane. We know you as who you are here, a good-hearted and intelligent, kind person.
If you take the journey to re-connect with your daughter and her family, I hope it is one which helps your sense of self. You desserve to never again label yourself monster.
 
Unusual down in the dumps day. Very tired after work - much more than usual so that's probably dragging me down mentally. Tomorrow I talk with the pdoc -that's always a downer -I always feel depressed after I talk with him but he is only managing my meds which I haven't changed in 10 years so I put up with it. I hate this - one day I'm happy, the next I'm depressed. And I'm on meds to stabilize my moods. Probably the meds aren't working anymore.
