Crossroads

A family member is in the hospital.   as my  I worry more about her daughter though because she can sometimes be in a fragile state of mind.  She has a lot on her plate.

She needs to make decisions on her marriage (or lack thereof) and her future, but she finds reasons at every turn not to.  Now, with her mother not doing well, I’m afraid that she’s going to put it off even longer.  What worries me is what will happen if she does.  What will happen to her will and spirit? What will happen to her future?  She already feels somewhat alienated from her son, and her son is her life.

Once her Mom gets out of the hospital, she’s going to need some in-home care, and this is the perfect opportunity for her to move out and start establishing a life of her own.  Hey, if her man wants her back, he can woo her all over again, right?  Ok, it didn’t work for me, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t work for her.  I have to believe that true love always wins in the end.

Her daughter is at a crossroad. She can either make the changes she needs to build her life back to what she needs, or she can keep the life she has…but this means that if you accept that life, you can’t bitch about it to those who have worried with you and struggled to give you options and advice.  You have to work at making the life you choose what it needs to be.  Yeah, that isn’t easy…and I know it.  But the serenity that comes from accepting your choice and working at it is worth it.
