I see my parents often. I’m 38 labeled with schizophrenia…long long story. They are my support system.
I think
I actually know them better now living semi independently for the past 5 years than I ever did before. I say semi because it’s a family owned place I live in which is actually a huge blessing for me because I’m definitely not well liked around here so renting could have been a nightmare. Moving on.,,
Maybe this is part of growing in Christ? They’re good people and I love them but I’m not trying to depend on them for every single thing ever. Helps that dad fully retired recently and I drop by but I’m trying to give them more space because they probably have to learn how to be around each other so much.
Rambling. Sorry. I’m gay…not actively…so a relationship is out of the question from the get go. No local friends and…
Ugh
I suppose some loneliness is a good sign? I’m not super emo about it but it’s gotta be a sign of normal human functioning. Right?!?!?
So my parents are getting older and so am I and I hope to be normal enough to keep them out of a home when they get truly old.
