What's really scary today? Issues, Other People's Issues...

This meme says it all.

I was speaking with someone at the office who burst into tears this morning. She had been up til 2 AM searching for her nephew. Once again. He has special needs and was missing. "Where is his mother? What did his father do?"

One is a space cadet and the other is a d!&$h#@#. "I do it because I don't want the Children's Aid Society to be involved."

Well, if this child needs help, maybe they should be involved. Mom and Dad need a wakeup call to grow up.

Raise your boundaries

You cannot be involved in other people's issues to the extent that you neglect your own.

Especially if you do not get any appreciation. Doormats should stay on the floor, not share your oxygen.

Today's Lesson

Don't take on someone else's responsibilities!

If your family member is in a yo-yo relationship that they say is bad or sad, that's their choice. I got better things to listen to. Avoid, avoid...!

Looking forward...

Keep your eye on the puck and focus on changing your issues into your accomplishments.
