It's a long one, sorry, but I don't want to drip feed:
How do I react to this?
DBro and DSis have lived overseas for a long time (long before DDad died and DM became very frail).
I'm very stressed - DM has been in hospital recently for a week (and now has an ulcer on top of her severe respiratory condition. The ulcer is a whole other thread...).
DM had realised that she can no longer cope on her own a while ago (we had previously looked into housing with care, and then care homes) and so she is going into a care home she had chosen quite soon. (I have another thread about the care home thing).
I'm trying to support DM who is terribly upset at the thought of losing her independence, despite knowing she needs help and support (which I can't give her - I've only just returned to full-time work after 8 1/2 months off).
Meanwhile, DBro has recently bought a boat (he and his wife live near a lake), and SIL has just sent me a stream of them all (including DSis and her husband) having a good time, which I don't begrudge them.
But, although I'm back at work now, I have a multitude of health issues I'm dealing with, some related to why I was off, some not, including neurological problems, pain and fatigue, and bowel issues which are being dealt with by colorectal at the moment, but also involves gynae stuff.
Maybe I'm being unreasonable (I didn't post in AIBU deliberately), but is this not a bit thoughtless given my situation?
I'm bemused to think that she feels it appropriate, with all of the things that I'm dealing with at the moment.
SIL isn't known to be empathetic, but I'm wondering if this is stepping over the line.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this (as long as folks don't come along just to hand me my arse on a plate).
Thanks for reading.
