Do you ever wish you could....

have a day without a crisis or mess of some sort?  Right now in our family of 5, with 2 living elsewhere we have 4 different crisis...car problems (daughter has no money to fix) sick daughter (too cheap to buy insurance) other daughter in a crisis with a male, my sociopathic stepson in California (37) continuing to ruin my life, my exwife and my wife fighting and I'm in the middle....and I'm still trying to deal with my son's death...

There is something every single day.

Jim

Hey Jim

I have no idea if you are religious (I am not), but even so, God never gives us anything we cannot handle. Relative to other peoples' lives, you have a lot on your plate. Each issue you face, should you choose to perceive it as such, is a chance to develop your capacity to grow and learn. There are no right answers here, as there never are. Don't be afraid to be weak, or admit you cannot handle it. You are only human Jim. Things happen every single day, as though there is no end to the struggle? In other words, when is that future where things are "ideal" going to come? In planning for the future, life happens. It is up to you Jim, you can focus on things you can influence, such as your response to the issues (change perspectives etc), or you can focus on things you cannot control (affordable health insurance, car problems). Which do you think will allow you some reprieve? Influence. My heart goes out to you Jim, I wish you the best.
