If my health doesn't kill me, my guilt will.
All these last years of having to deal with all of my health and spine issues have been incredibly hard, not just on me, but on all 3 of us.
The teens were forced to grow up way too fast, they had to take care of me, help me, their life has not been easy dealing with this for sure.
There have been a few times now that we've had some conversations where I swear my heart is just going to explode on me over how all of this has affected them.
They are not angry with me at all, they place no blame on me for anything, but man, just knowing how this has been for them is enough to eat me alive.
Tonight was one of those nights and one of those talks.

I'm a never married single mom of a 15 yr old girl. I know it's tough on the kids.. I've been down that road, too. I read your blog on occasion. Just want you to know that you are not alone. Take what your children offer.. LOVE.. Not guilt.
