I don't seem to know anything anymore. I'm as helpless as a stuck pig, as my Grandma says. Her and I are two peas in a pod I guess, we both have NO idea what we are supposed to be doing. I'm so lost and confused right now, I just feel like running away, but to where, who knows? I never seem to make the right decisions, someone is always upset ( Read more... )

Hey Mel, here's a couple of things I want to say.

1 - You're a good gal, and you're stuck in the circumstance of having to take care of your grandmother who needs more than you can give. She can't understand what you're doing for her, and the rest of the family doesn't know what it's like babysitting her day after day. You HAVE done a wonderful thing, taking care of her, and it's normal to be sick of it now that she's completely out of touch with reality. I hope the rest of the family can understand what is happening, because you're not a dumb blonde, and you've done a lot more for grandma than anyone else has, including your aunt. She only watched grandma during the earlier days of her slide down the slope. So you're in a tough place... Let me tell you something - you're awesome for giving as much as you have to this cause. Precious few people would.

2 - About the job... TELL them you'll work there if the job becomes permenent. Because as far as you're concerned, you will. If a life-changing event happens like your getting married and moving away, they will understand. And like I said... you're offering services worth more to them than they'd pay you, so don't hesitate to worry about whether you could do that job for another 5 years.
