My wonderful parents

Are in their mid 80s and the picture of health. What I want is to live another 10 years and die before they do. My youngest will be 25 years old by that time. And oldest will be 31. I think then my job will be done.

I’ve heard the pain of losing a son or daughter is really bad. For this reason, I don’t want to die before my parents. And also because I want to take care of them when they get older

Thankfully my parents would be well cared for by my siblings. As much as my family loves me I realize I’m a burden. The only thing I do well is raise my kidlets.

Oh trust me your kids will need you long after those ages!! Stick around as long as you can

Stick around is right @FatMama!
Try not to think of these morbid thoughts.

If things get out of hand then go to the ER.

You are valuable.
Your kids need you!

I’m not suicidal at all. I just don’t want to be here when I turn 60. Thank you for showing kindness

@FatMama…you need to seriously get your self admitted to a psych unit for some R&R…youre well liked here and respected on the forums…we wouldn’t want to lose you…im in a similar position, im middle aged and my parents are getting old…I want to be there for them…

Your kids need you. Especially when they have their own kids. There were so many questions I couldn’t ask my mother and I needed help
