> Not Here Very Much

Just in case anyone is wondering why I'm not here very much or if, heavens I hope not, I've upset anyone by answering PMs or emails late. I have a lot of family illness at the moment, of the chronic, not going away type. 3 of my 5 parents/in-laws/steps are all ill.
We are all OK in my house, but it's all the others (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Will look in as often as I can.
Bev.

Sorry to hear that, Bev.

Do remember to take care of yourself as well as everyone else around you, won't you?

Poor Bev. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thereThere.gif) And it's such a busy time of year too.

It's sad when you know they're not going to get any better, but at least they are still with you. We have just the two mums left now, and miss our dads very much. You must be tired, and I'll think of you.

That's a really difficult situation, try not to take on too much and get help and rest where you can.

Very sorry to hear this Bev. At least you have May to keep you level-headed and sane! Take time for yourself and try to recruit other family members to do their share too.

Thanks everyone. It's difficult because my Step is estranged from his family. They turn up once or twice a year, make soothing noises, and disappear again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
My brother died years ago, so there is only me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Divorce is difficult at the time, and then it comes back to haunt you when the parents get old and infirm, because there are 3 or even 4 older couples to take care of. I can't ignore what is happening, and yet there is no one to share the load, or even the decisions with.
Ah well, May will keep me sane. I'll go and have a bottle glass of wine with her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Bev.
PS. Someone was murdered in the churchyard in my town (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

It must be very hard taking sole responsibility in this situation. Do take care of yourself too.
