I’m there right now. I’m a 53 yr old married woman….only child to a 91 yr old mother who needs me, mom to a college graduated son who has come back home reluctantly waiting on his career to get started (and a little angry at the world that it’s not happening faster) & I work full-time.
This sandwich stage of my life is the toughest so far.
I’m stressed beyond my limits & have had to leave chores & tasks undone that I usually stay on top of. I’m tired & sleepy all the time…so I sleep instead of doing what I should.
I already have chronic depression & an anxiety disorder, all which I’m medicated for. It helps or I wouldn’t even be able to function at all.
This too shall pass & I love my mom & don’t want to miss too much time with her.
