My mom is running herself into the ground (most definitely where I got that part of my personality from lol) and my greatest fear is that one day she'll guilt trip me (successfully) into caring for her.
Although, on the bright side, because of my mom's influence on me, I've developed a strong attraction to women who are independent and financially secure.
Stay away from my wife, Sarge, hahaha!
I'm blessed in my situation. I don't have problems, I really don't. I should probably make it clear, my posts should be taken in context of testing the program.
I work 10-12 hours/week, and take time off when I want for going out-of-town/whatever. My wife has the bigwig education and career, and she's earning the big bucks to support our family. I'm lucky to have her. I get to spend massive amounts of time with my kid (soon to be kids, plural). I'm very grateful that we have a roof over our heads, food in abundance, healthy bodies, and (usually) healthy minds. I'm well aware we're in the .00000000001% of the world in blessings & abundance.
It's all relative. There's always someone with more, and less. There's always someone smarter, better looking, healthier, having cooler experiences, etc, etc. I don't need all that, but I do need to heal my own wounds, release my own fears, and make myself the best version I can be so I can, at the very least, be the best husband and father I know I can be. I need my children to grow up with a limitless mentality, and be whoever they're here to be and do whatever their hearts and minds desire to do, with FERVOR and EXCITEMENT, in the healthiest way possible.
So if we're getting in "bigger picture," talk, I have it better than good. Within the context of the program, there are frustrations - just as everyone else is having their own personalized version. You're a good dude, 4K, taking care of your mother as you do. I wish you both the best.
