Beside Myself~

I always enjoyed that saying. I can just see me being beside myself. Monday my daughter came home for about two hours. Then she had to go to her denture appointment and was then going to go to her bf's and then come back here. Never happened. I called over at her bf's and spoke to him. He said she was tired when she got back from her appointment. He fixed her something to eat and she feel asleep. I told him my concerns. My grandson starts school a week from today. He needs clean clothes. He has a skin issue when is concerning and he needs to be taken to the doctor to get a handle on what it is before school starts. We need to eat too. I refuse to cook in my daughter's kitchen. I am almost out of money so we can't eat out much more. We have eaten at Taco Bell four days in a row now. It is god awful food that tastes to me like dog food. Infact, I'd rather eat dog food. He said they had an appointment with the chiropractor tomorrow but they could cancel it and come right home to take him to the doctor. He said he would come with her over here tomorrow ASAP. It is now 3:30p. and I have neither heard from nor seen either my daughter or her bf. I am at my wits end. The clinic is open until 8p. so maybe there is still hope for today. I cry and fuss. I feel like I am about to have a nervous breakdown. I really do. I wish she would come home and get my grandson ready for school. Get him to the doctor and so forth. I worry that things don't get done, I forget about them or fall asleep and then they don't get done. My stomach aches and I am so tired. I know. I am rather pathetic aren't I? The truth about my life is like a horror movie.

I feel the same way about my husband at times. I know things need to be done and he constantly takes his time with everything to the point of scaring the mess out of me. I hate it!! At times I want to shake him and scream to move and do something!

I hear ya. It must be very frustrating for you. And I feel like if I just forget about it and find something else to think about then we take the chance of it not being done. My daughter spaces stuff so badly. Yesterday she lost the mail. It's scary.

@celticeagle It is frustrating to say the least. And it's the same way here. If I don't remind him constantly nothing gets done.

I can completely relate to your situation. I gave the same deal with my husband everyday. Simple things that can be done in minutes take as long as a day or two or sometimes even more. Making me mad as hell.

If he does not make it to the start of school, or if he shows up uncared for, it is like child protective services will get involved. I know, that is another headache and anxiety for you. Plus, how can he feel secure if she does not come take care of him. It is a difficult mess. One my sister used to sort of find herself in.

She called a bit ago and agreed to come over this evening. I hope it happens and we can get my grandson ready for school. I just can't do everything that needs to be done.

No, you're NOT pathetic, you're just a concerned grandparent. We're in the process of moving on our own place. (We were living all on the same lots with my mother-in-law.) We did a quick deed claim and split the lots up. Of course we're the ones that have to move.. We still have to get the utilities on our lots and then move the trailer house and his workshop. We still need to get 2 more trailer house tires/wheels. We thought we'd have the move done this weekend, but that's NOT going to happen. Then the hubby wants our oldest son to come down to help. Of course our son, wants to come down because he wants to look for a job in the town that's 30 miles away, but will he get any work down for us???

I do feel a bit pathetic. I remember you writing about your MIL. Ikes! So frustrating when you depend on others. I hate it! I'm glad her manic phases don't get this bad very often. Sure glad when this one will be over. I may have a nervous breakdown in the doctor's office tomorrow.

I'm so sorry. People can make life harder than it needs to be sometimes.

Hopefully they will show up and take your grandson to the doctor so you can relax and not worry so much.

That's so unfair of your daughter. It's not your responsibility, yet you carry the worry. Also, I agree Taco Bell often tastes like dog food.

Oh dear your daughter should come home soon. So sorry to hear all this.

You have a right to feel like this. She is his mother and shouldn't dump him here or there. She needs to clean his clothes an take him to the doctor. You can't do this for him. Her BF is not truthful when he says that they will come today and never shows up. If you keep calling there it will only end in a war. There is not a lot you can do besides worry for all this. worrying is horrible for anyone and everyone gets sick when they worry too much.

Sorry you can't seem to rely on them to take care of him to where you're worried sick

You should relax a little bit. I undergo the same sort of thing with my husband everyday. More stress will only cause you problems and not solve anything.
