don't work yourself into the hospital.
Can you take time off from the paying job? Can someone else help father? Can husband SUPPLY help? Can sister be left to her own devices for a while? Can you leave the kids with someone, just for a breather?
And if you say NO to all of these, girl, you painted yourself into a corner. And Cheryl Allman is right, nobody is going to give you a medal. They 'll just go on expecting you to supply - love, food, money, help, attention, support...
Did you know Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves?
Hey, come to the board for your moral support, but try to get some real support at home. Like, by standing up and asking for it...
Good luck,
