I feel i should explain my post about LilBit. [View all]
Another of what I'm going through, is mental of course.Lets call it my " Dad complex",
I believed I could still take care of her medical decisions, her finances, etc.
I've learned, and coming to terms, with, that was 2nd nature to me, when I was caring for her. 24/7. I knew her every sound,cough, sneeze, and yes, when I changed her brief. I knew, how she is feeling. Truth is, I don't see her 24/7 anymore.
They do, so when they were calling me and asking me, questions, about a runny nose, she is coughing, we would be on phone for 30 minutes while I asked questions about what kind of cough,sneeze, runny, etc. So her care providers and I spoke. And we came to agreement, care providers , make the decisions, don't have to call me and ask me,after all, you are seeing g her 24/7, you notice the changes, better than me now. If some seems way out of ordinary happens call me.
And here is my mental health point. I need to let her go to professionals, it was hard when she left my home, and, every , step, I need to let her go more,
Just kills me mentally, But, with my help, I'm starting to u understand, I'm not Losing LilBit,
I was emotional, as I'm, giving more and more of her care away. Eventually, I'll have to give financial and all to care center.My counselor asked me one question, that finally got me to a better mind set,
" are you still, able to get there, twice week to see her?" I said yes, he said," it's only because of the decisions, you made, that she is still here"
Not blowing my mental health status horn, I'm just thankful for a good counselor, counseling takes a, bit of time,and a lot of raw honesty.
I didn't " lose LilBit" horribly mis-worded, on my part.
I'm working to be ok.,
