It’s been a bit since my last post. I’ve been dealing with this exhausting fibro flare-up going on 8 weeks now. Work is about all I can manage lately.

This has thrown me a little off track on my mission, but I’m definitely not done!

As the flare-up starts to let go a little bit, I can get back on track.

In all of this time being relatively inactive I’ve had a lot of time (probably too much) to step back and look at my life.

I’ve watched my daughter commit to a college team, prepare her final projects for school, and many “last time” things. She’s amazing and I know she’ll be fine going away to school.

I’ve also watched my husband repeatedly frustrated that I can’t do more to help him, choose to miss those “last time” things, and throw a child-like tantrum about going to a family event.

The two of them do not get along. They fight about everything. They’re constantly mad at each other. And I am always in the middle.

A couple things I’ve decided – I’m done, totally over it. And, I’m stuck. How do you just step out of the way when you’re the one keeping your family from going off the rails?

Right now, I really don’t know what to do next. I’m curious, have you been in a similar situation?
