Drama at home

I have mum in one room crying and sister in the other room crying. Just great! Not. Dad is not the best today. He is not responding at all and there was a small amount of blood in dad's urine - it might be due to the catheter.
The nurse is coming first thing tomorrow morning.

I typed out 30 official letters for mum today and I didn't get a single thank you. Instead she said I wasn't doing it right. She wanted me to do it tonight and I said no. She started saying how much she does for me and I don't do anything for her. Made her cry again.

I am trying to control all my anger, sadness inside me. Will probably cry myself to sleep again but it doesn't matter. Just have to get on with it.

And to top it of, I have my appointment with psychologist tomorrow. She will want to do a chain analysis regarding the fights I have had with mum lately. And we will come to a conclusion that I am not trying my best and that my homework for this coming week is to be nice to her. Great huh?

I have work tommorrow for five hours. It will keep my mind occupied and give me some time to get away from everything thats going on at the moment.

Enough of rambling for tonight.

Night my darling deppies.

Sorry things at home are not going so well.

Sorry dad is not well and I hope the blood is the cathater and nothing more.

As for mum and your sister, you do your best and that is all that can be asked of you. A thank you would be nice to receive but remember mum needs a thank you ocassionally as well. Sister - don't know what happened there but you may want to approach it tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day and make sure you get to that psychologist's appointment and if that is the homework she gives you, try your hardest at it. When you have depression, no one sees an illness and forget you are sick/unwell. We are a society that likes to see injuries to believe someone is sick. The psychologist is there to help you. Ask about taking mum to a session just so she knows how you are doing and can discuss the anger issue with the two of them. Remember mum may not want to go but she may surprise you and say yes and be interested in what work they are doing to help you with your family relationships.

Go WD!!!

Good on you for spending time doing some work for your mum even if she wasn't happy with it.

Hope work is good for you tomorrow.
