I'm so tired and exhausted. I now live in the same trailer park as this friend of mine who always askls us to help her.
There is a direct line of give and take between me and this lady. She helped me get my son registered for school and she drove me to the social security office. She got a parking ticket which greatly inconvienenced her and then I went with her to get the ticket resolved.
My husband is supposed to help the lady get a new mattress and transport it and he was supposed to do that this morning but he never did it. The lady called me at work and I tried calling my husband but he's asleep; he had a migraine.
We are also supposed to give this lady 52.00 bucks for the light bill. My husband hasn't done that either. After this, the obligations should stop, but for now, I promised her these things and we have do do them. This is the very same lady who asked us to co sponsor the immigrant husband--Do you all remember that?
We rely on this lady to watch for my son after school. And this is the lady whose trailer I have cleaned for free for the past 10 years.
So, the give and take is pretty good but my husband doesn't always fulfill promises and when I am at work, I cannot do what is promised.
I have a very weak personality and back in 2009, I almost got involved with a dysempathic sociopathic woman who has since passed away.
I am giving strong thought to using structural boundaries to lessen the tie between me and the woman.
My energy is very weak and I cannot control the actions of my husband. I am at work. The woman will call me and ask me why something isn't done.
I'm not sure what to do about this. The friend I have is the only real tie I have in the trailer park and I rely on her for a great many things.
I don't really know if you all can give me advice on this........but just know that I am exhausted and have the adrenal fatigue and I might just have to cut the woman off for a few days if I can't get rest.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I wanted to go, at least afterwards to a Mexican restaurant with some of my other friends, healthy mental health consumers like you all---compliant, medication taking, fun loving mental health consumers--these mainly retired school teachers with mild ocd or depression, but I never got the chance.
I'm not really good with boundaries, but my health keeps getting worse and I keep getting more and more tired and I am not sure except like I said, to use structural boundaries.....
Example:
My husband works Wednesdays and Sundays at a church. I can go to my local UMC and I can also sing in the chior and I will have my son with me and I can sing in the chior which means that from 9:45 to 1:00 or 1:30, I will be at church and chior and the lady cannot bother me. And on Wednwedays, I can be ACCROSS TOWN at Wednesday church and she will not be able to reach me then. That way, I won't have to go to the Pentecostal church and deal with their weirdness and control and I won't have to worry about all of the ladies rules that she enjoys placing on me. The two days apart, plus a good hefty karate schedule for my son as a family event will prevent the woman ***##$$ from being able to penetrate and mess my life up.
Perhaps put a note on your door? "Please do not disturb." Simple. If ever asked to explain just say you needed rest. Nothing personal.
As hard as it is it does sound like you need to put some boundaries into place.Good luck Rappcitee!!
You are a very nice person C... This woman shouldn't be calling you at work about these things though... If she made some of the agreements with your husband perhaps she should talk with him...
We do the best we can to help one another... That's all any of us can do
