Hi Ilene.
I appreciate it! Thank you for responding. Yes, I do recall. That marked the beginning of these difficult times :/ I guess I am just very emotional right now with the eclipse nearing. I really hope it brings me peace of mind. I am just hoping for the best. I am ready for a bit of lightness for a while. How have you been? I hope all is well.
Hi, sweetie. I'm doing really well.
I can see you are very busy so you likely cannot accept an invitation to visit a bit about this. [If you can, please let me know
] So given that, let me just comment here that you cannot do anything to make any difference in the course of your mother's or your sister's lives, except to continue to love them. What is going on with each of them, and all the other people in your life, is in the hands of fate.
So stand by them and love them, but be sure to keep your healthy boundaries in tact. It is in no one's interest to be emotionally dependent upon another. The source of their strength comes from within them. And likewise, it is especially not in your interest to accept their emotional dependence upon you.
I hope you may consider very carefully at what I am saying here and there is really no reason to respond. Just consider. Strongly offer your heart, your love, which is painful. But I urge you not to accept or permit dependence.
Wishing you the best, as always.
