@QuietMagic
This week I'm looking forward to pancake 🥞 Tuesday , any excuse to feast 🥰
I'm good this week, emotional week, but out the other side 💚
@Amanda84
I've been living under a non-Christian rock apparently, lol--had never heard of Pancake Tuesday until today. 😊 Hope you enjoy!
Did anything in particular happen this week that was emotional that you feel like sharing about?
@QuietMagic
Ha, oh wow, it shocked me to think the whole world doesn't know about pancake Tuesday 😂😂💚
My dad was rushed into hospital, sepsis, so it's been a long, emotional , scary week and I have to be honest, I cried alot and found myself getting very intensely overwhelmed which has never happened and I found it hard to navigate 🩷
@Amanda84
Oh wow, that definitely sounds scary, and makes sense that that would be really intense/overwhelming. Not a normal/everyday sort of situation. 🙏 Is he doing better now? Still in the hospital?
@QuietMagic
He's on a very strong antibiotic to get the sepsis under control, I am exhausted because my dad got very upset because my other siblings haven't reached out and I wasn't happy and told them some home truths 🩷
@Amanda84
Gotcha, strong antibiotic makes sense and hoping that that helps. 👍
That's a tough situation to be in with the siblings. 😥 You're in close contact with your dad so you can see exactly what he's going through--physically and then now emotionally with the situation with your siblings. So it feels almost shockingly callous or morally offensive to see how your siblings are acting when you can vividly see just how much it's hurting your dad.
@QuietMagic
Yes and I just got to the point, I dismissed their treatment because he was going through too much and I exploded and let them have it but then felt bad as my only intention is focusing on my dad 🩷
@Amanda84
Yeah, I see how there's this paradox there:
1) Exploding at them is motivated by caring for your dad (feeling like they're mistreating/hurting him)
2) But then it maybe feels like the focus on "someone needs to let them have it" is shifting attention toward punishing them and distracts away from caring for your dad
I wonder if maybe it was just a necessary thing that felt like it needed to happen (i.e. *someone* had to call them out and force them to hopefully look in the mirror)--and now that you've done that, that need has been satisfied and you're now able to go back to focusing on your dad?
@QuietMagic
Yes, I do see that shift if I'm honest and I think my focus has realigned, your kindness and just letting me check in helps more than you could know 🩷
It has been a mixed week.
I am glad I am having time off work but I have fallen ill which is really annoying so I can't really do much when I planned to go out and catch up with friends. It's probably my body telling me to rest but I am struggling with it at the moment.
Looking forward to catching up on some programmes on TV.
@Harmony8682
Oh yuck, I hope you feel better 💜 Makes sense that your body isn't able to keep up right now with all of the plans that you had for this week. Hoping you're able to catch up with people still once you're healthy again. (And TV sounds like a nice activity if you're feeling sick.)
Thank you🙂
