Merry Christmas everyone!

Anita, thank you so much for allowing me to express myself on this platform.

My psychiatrist is on an extended Christmas vacation , she never tells me and my appointments just get cancelled instead of being able to rebook . It’s frustrating because her secretary books the appointments and doesn’t check.

anyways typical stuff that I usually dread around Christmas is already happening. My mom decided to book a trip without telling anyone and invited herself to my brothers house . Basically , she send him a text message just as she landed to come pick her up from the airport. Him and his wife have 3 year old , my nephew but they had to drop everything to cater to my moms whims !

im so upset , she’s probably going to do this to me next ! Just show up unannounced and expect everyone to drop their daily routine. She is vegetarian and eats some weird religious Hindu diet and expect everyone else to eat that when she visits . Also she on a whim to a vow of silence and it following some other religion or yoga stuff . I don’t understand why she she pretty much thinks she owns me and my brother and our homes , she even shows up at our work unannounced.

so I’m on pins and needles because I still have to work during the holidays and the last thing I need is my mom showing up and telling me what to do and eat or to quit my job.

im also on the hook to help my dad and will need to help him move in with us as he is losing his rental place a lot sooner and has no where else he can afford to live .
I need to find out some resources here because I’ve never taken care of a sick older person before, don’t know what do expect, I’m sick with worry and actually have been having many bad thoughts lately about giving up for good
