Attitude of Gratitude - It's a must

natural-disorder (36)in #gratitude • 7 years ago

Its about 2pm here and I've had a tough go this morning.

Again, I'm going to touch on something that I will get into depth more about later, but my oldest is bipolar with bordeline personality disorder. It's a difficult disorder. I feel for her and the chaos that consumes her every moment of existence. I feel for us, those that witness the breakdowns and manic episodes. I feel for her daughter, whom may never see a "normal" day; though I do my all to provide her with stability and structure.

I have fought by her side her entire life...all while she kicked and screamed fighting against me. Now that she is a mother herself, she is more overwhelmed and out of control. Her chaos pours into the house and slowly infects us all.

I feel a great responsibility for keeping the sanity alive around here and providing the children, and animals for that matter, a safe place.

Some days, it seems an impossible feat.
