My mother was a widow for nearly 40 years and was very demanding and needy. I did all I could to help her but sometimes did resent it. I'm a widow now and have three sons and two daughter's in law. I try very hard to be self reliant etc., but I find it difficult to get the balance right. If you are too independent it can be construed as being cold, asking for help (computers etc.,) in my case - too needy. I would like to tell them that I sometimes feel inadequate, not well and so on, but rarely do this as they all have busy lives.
Any advice on getting the balance right. This is all new to me because when DH was alive we relied on each other.
Do you think you know when you are going to die?
By special request, let’s discuss our favourite Classic Music and why?
