Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I am tired, exhausted, desperate for this pain to fade away. I cannot wait for tomorrow when I have a counselor appointment. My in-laws (outlaws) live 90 miles away from me and have just emailed asking to take the 3 older kids this weekend and they need an answer ASAP. Frankly, I just want to be left alone for a while without dealing with them too. Sending the kids there always seems to be more work for me than just keeping them here. Probably because the youngest doesn't get to go. And why doesn't he get to go? Because they do not know how to care for his diabetes either. I want the world to stop and let me off. So, how can I politely say no? Is there anyway I can ask them to give me my space for a little while?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Anyone else ever had their occipital nerve swell at the back of their head?!I had about 2 weeks of insane pain originating from the base of my skull on the left (not a new pain, just new intensity, persistence and constancy) that then travels up my skull towards my forehead and along the back of my ear.Well, week before last I touched my head one night and realized there was a raised lump there...

Are they going to pick them up and drop them off? I would also tell them that if they want all of them they need to spend some time with you to learn about your son that has medical needs. Make them learn.
You do not have to dance to anyone's tune.
If they need an answer ASAP and you're not ready to give them one, then just tell them that. Buy yourself sometime to consider whether or not you could use the lighter load this weekend or not, but if it's more work than it's worth, you're not obilgated.
I'm sure the little one is hurt by not being invited, and the older children may be having guilt about that which they aren't able to put into words.
If you tell them, "I'm sorry, but the kids really need some time to settle into a routine right now and shuffling them around separately is turning out to be quite stressful for everyone."
It might make it difficult for them to agrue the pint with you, if your concern is for the kids well-being.
So long as you're sure you couldn't use the break and maybe do something special with the little one...
