Of course, I rarely check my emails..but I will be sure to do so in the next couple of days.<BR/><BR/>I am down with pneumonia right now and not enjoying anything at all. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>These are grown men. Why do they need anyone to take care of them? Did you hook up an IV and are force feeding him sugary drinks? LOLOL! I would say that to the MIL if it were me. You can't force a 45 year old to do anything at all....he does it all on his own.<BR/><BR/>For his mom to even say she is going to move in....well...what is wrong with her??? And no, you cannot take care of 3 other people and there is no reason why you should have too. The one thing I am learning in all of this is to take care of me. Obviously I messed up as I've got pneumonia now. So this week is total bed rest for me and you know what, it's not so bad!Diabeteswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766498325089988838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-84223916092249104782008-02-17T18:59:00.000-08:002008-02-17T18:59:00.000-08:00Hi,Your quote:"So I'm wondering if a person lies a...Hi,<BR/>Your quote:<BR/>"So I'm wondering if a person lies all the time....does that make them think they are being honest and the other person is the liar? Interesting."<BR/><BR/>I have thought this very thing so many times over the years.<BR/><BR/>I really don't have anyone to talk to about this so I hope you don't mind me writing on your comments.<BR/><BR/>Each day is the same behavior but a different scenario. Today, for instance, he has gotten his mom involved by insinuating to her that I am not taking care of him. Now my MIL is upset with me because she thinks I am giving him sugary drinks. To top it all off she wants to move in with us so she can take care of him. I flat out told him if he needed his mommy to take care of him that he would have to move into one of her spare bedrooms. That remark from me ended the whole ordeal with both of them. His mom is 75 years old (her husband, who is also a diabetic, is 78, and my husband is 45. There is no way I can take care of all three of them plus my teenager and his drama and take care of my own health needs.<BR/><BR/>I have been humming the songs "Respect" by Aretha Franklin and "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor in my head all day. I try to keep my emotional strength up even though physically I am not doing so good. I have been very sick with the flu the past two weeks and dh has been sick with his flu for 5 weeks. His immune system is down and I am very worried about him.<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658923751106305436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-22764227371579268592008-02-17T11:58:00.000-08:002008-02-17T11:58:00.000-08:00Today, he accused me of knocking over a little mec...Today, he accused me of knocking over a little mechanical robot and breaking it. I told him I had not touched the thing...although he had put it on my desk to get it out of the way. He called me a liar.<BR/><BR/>So I'm wondering if a person lies all the time....does that make them think they are being honest and the other person is the liar? Interesting.<BR/><BR/>What's important is that I know I did not touch the robot, much less knock it over. So I'm fine. I just wonder where this is going to lead...and if I will survive it or not.Diabeteswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766498325089988838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-26131255594457183802008-02-15T20:27:00.000-08:002008-02-15T20:27:00.000-08:00Hi,I have dealt with the lying for over 10 years. ...Hi,<BR/>I have dealt with the lying for over 10 years. I wonder, now, if it is an associated symptom of the disease? I used to think that I was losing my mind because of it but now realize that it is his BS levels that bring on this behavior.<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658923751106305436noreply@blogger.com
