I have reached the stage in my relationship with my Mum who ius 82 years old, fairly fit and has been a widow for 22 years, and my sister who is 54 years she lost a partner 10 years ago has has never moved on, thjey both live in separate houses. My problem is for years I have always thought about them, there welfare, always kept intouch by seeing and phoning them when I could. I have a family and my children who are both adults visit them on a regular basis. I organise my mums finances pay any bills, buy all major appliances that she needs, organize lifts when she needs them and every Christmas they both come to me, and now I have reached a stage that I just can not do it anymore, the reason if I do not get in touch with them they do not get intouch with me.....
I did not contact them for 2 weeks, nothing no phone calls.
When my guilt got to me I phoned, nothing not how are you, what have you been doing, hows is my husband.
I just think have I been satisfing my need to be needed all these years or as "susieblue" said you can not win no matter what you do
