Seara - I am so sorry you are going through this. It is so hard when those around us just don't understand.

Many times, I have to take a step back and put things in a different perspective. No one will really understand what it is like unless they have been there. I have found this to be true in many areas of my life and many family members and friends years later have apologized to me as they didn't realize what it was truly like to be in that situation.

I use this same perspective when dealing with family members not fully understanding what I am going through. It helps.

In the meantime, do what you can and if it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done. DDs know this 1st hand. So if it is not done, most times, they will pitch in an help out.

You also have all of us who certainly have a better understanding of what you are going through. So, spill the tears on us and we all will help you to dry up the tears and give you encouragement.
