I’m so stressed

My parents are not aging well. My mom is constantly at a doctors appointment and my dad was very difficult to deal with before and with old age is becoming unbearable. I have two little girls and a husband who barely helps. He is either working offshore or at home but mentally checked out on vacation. My marriage is not good. Both my girls seem to have inherited my anxiety and the little one is having lots of trouble at school. I just my want to cry. My aging dog also has something wrong with her eyes. Why can’t I be stronger?

Is there anybody in your life that you could reach out to for help? If not a friend or family member, maybe your local community services board. They can provide referrals to therapists. I think it would really help you to talk to someone.
