    To anyone who attempts to guiltify you by saying that “you’re not doing enough” “you should have/should not have done/said this”, “why aren’t you doing this better”

    <font color=”#f44336″>Consider a reply via email or nice card</font>

    (Name), I’m exhausted, stressed, and extremely appreciative of anyone who provides me respite by helping out in any way: my job search, shopping and other errands, taking Mom to Dr. appts and procedures, housework, providing me feedback after communicating with Dr’s, Insurance companies, and other businesses, etc.”

    In addition to my extensive and ongoing efforts to find a new job, I’m doing my absolute best to help Mom and meet both of our needs 24/7/365.

    (Name) I need you to respect my role as Mom’s full-time Care Provider by not engaging in Monday Morning Quarterbacking regarding my actions, especially when decisions were made without the benefit of time, or a need, to discuss first with you, or anyone else.

    Thankyou so much for your understanding, it means so much♥️
