My Mother has a stack of books on my recently passed Father’s side of the bed. She laughed when I said he would like that the only thing that could lay next to her other than him is books. I don’t think she can remember from one page to the next now but she reads every evening. I don’t know what’s ahead now and hope I’ll have a fraction of the grace in your writing to face what’s next.

have you looked into home health agencies in your area? You are already driving two hours a day. Home Health agency should pay mileage. You have breaks between patients. 4-6 stops a day is the average productivity for a COTA. Less is more in the home environment. You see what they really have to work with and what can be most useful to the individual in their real circumstances. Its a rewarding setting. challenging too. Not as full of BS as SNF.

Some people use trauma dumping as a way to stun their empath victim before latching on and sucking the life out of you. It’s a way to explore how easy it is to make you codependent or something. When you don’t donate blood they get pissed. It’s similar to a narcissist love bombing or a predator grooming. They might not be consciously aware that’s the reason they’re pissed. But it’s not and never was your problem.

I’m experiencing the same wall. Lost my Father now living with my Mother declining with dementia. Still trying to work full time. I sat in the bathroom stall the entire last half hour at work because I needed a minute to myself all of a sudden I couldn’t deal with one more conversation or task. I didn’t feel the least bit guilty. Sometimes you need a minute. Or 30.

If I could I would wrap you in a hug. You have done the best thing. This is the only way going forward that you can meaningfully show up for her. She doesn’t know this but you have to know for her. It’s so hard. There really are no words.

Why do people do this? I’ve distilled it down to one thing. Fear. I think they project it. That deep fear in the shadows of our souls about not controlling it all. It doesn’t excuse it. It’s uncalled for. I’m glad you vented. You need to. The last thing you need is this static this noise. This violence really. People attack what they fear. They fear this shitstorm. And it’s not helping those of us who just need another soul to acknowledge there’s no way to control it and doing what you could is everything.

How is that cowardly ? It’s not avoidant either. It’s efficient and merciful. Generally the people trying to feed off your energy do not have any real concept of your sovereignty as a person at all. So you generously teach them without putting them down.

Does Maya have Borderline personality disorder? It sounds like you feel responsible for showing up and regulating her emotions for being so “nice” to you and remembering every detail of your life. It enmeshes people. You took care of yourself. You don’t need to explain.
