its also children who have left the home who drain me.
one has a baby at a young age so i try to help a bit, but she can be so anxiety ridden and rude that it can be so hard to be around.
another is a whole other story the hurt, suffering, embarrassment she has caused me which is so didnt deserve instead of having a short chat with me, when she misunderstood protective behaviour of mine towards a sibling.
in families people have to work to be tolerant, forgiving, polite, considerate, and i am sick of giving and giving and being on the receiving end of rudeness and ungratefulness or worse.
Sometimes you just have to stop giving and say no more. You need to turn your energy on the younger children still in your care. The older ones who have left the nest are grown up and need to act like grown ups and support themselves.
