Confrontation

[jarandhel]

Well, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I blew up at my parents last night. We ended up having a long talk about what we need to change around here, what we need to do in order for me to actually be able to get a job. I think they finally understand that I can't leave my life on hold forever for them, or at least my mother does. My father is supposed to be getting better at telling me things in advance, but he still sucks... yesterday he told me that all I had to do today was stop by the library and pick up a book that was in for me, yet today I had to get the papers and some milk for him too. I told him last night that I knew there was no way I was just going to go to the library today, and when I pointed it out to him today he looked very sheepish... I think he's starting to get the point about why it's been impossible for me to schedule things around the stuff he needs done.

So, we more or less have a plan now... we're going to get this place fixed up as much as we can, that's stage one. Stage two is looking into adult daycare or in-home nursing for my grandmother. Stage three is me getting a job. :) Needless to say, being the primary health care provider for my grandmother and my father is going on my resume at this point.
