Are You Dealing With
Aging Parents?
Are you dealing with aging parents who are also controlling parents and manipulative parents? Are you losing your mind? Have they let you grow up or still treating you as a child? Are they stubborn and difficult?
THE SECRET IS OUT...YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
I have wanted to give up over and over and over and just leave. But I knew I would just be running away. I would have guilt feelings after mom was gone and I don't want that.I had to get past this. I have hung in there and studied, read books, talked to other caregivers,
sought therapy for depression in dealing with an aging parent
and I have prayed and prayed and I now know that I am where I am suppose to be. I have grown stronger day by day. I use "The 12 Step" program daily. It has taught me that I can only live "one day at a time" and only for myself. This program has shown me that I can learn from other people's experiences, strength and hope. I am learning that I have a right to choose how to live my life and mom has a right to choose how she lives her life. I don't have to be controlled by anyone...it's my choice. There is hope for dealing with aging parents!
