Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Karina Sorry to hear that your aunt is ill.. It is really hard being far away from family when things like that happens.. Please know I am thinking about you ;o) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already. Very bad day Just received note that my favourite aunt has been admitted to hospital, she is the one suffering from terminal cancer and she can no longer keep food down, so this might be it. She's been a second mother to me since I was little, and I am just feeling torn apart inside. It doesn't help that I feel like an awful mother today (not to mention hopeless employee, but couldn't care less) - DD is playing up increasingly and seems to be struggling with her little life, jealousy, power, and the whole thing, and I just don't find the right balance between being understanding, comforting, strict, and reliable. DS is still waking up 3-5 times a night (apart from two weeks at 7 months when he slept through the night after I did awful sleep training with him for a week). Since then he's had 5 colds, two teeth, and chicken pox and there's been no way to be strict with him. I'm just dying with tiredness, so last night I tried to " sleep-train " him again (basically not feed him in the night, just comfort), as it's the first time he's been well in 2 months. It was awful, he cried for 1 1/2 hours at a stretch (and I cried for 1 hour more after he'd gone to sleep), and I am just dreading this night. Miserable toddler, panicking baby, dying aunt, crying mother on phone from home - it's not good. Thanks all for listening, will try to go to bed now.
