At my dad’s house

I did pretty well yesterday, but today I’m feeling restless and bored and a little anxious. My dad seems to be OK with just staying home and not doing much of anything. I like to get out of the house.

Part of the reason I feel weird here is that my mother died in this house, and for me, it’s never felt right here since then, without her.

Dad doesn’t even interact with me much. I was closer to my mother, and the family dynamics feel different and awkward without her. And, this is not the place where I grew up; Mom and Dad moved away from there soon after retiring - so I’m out of state, in an unfamiliar town. I love my dad, and I’m glad to have this time with him - but I will be so ready to go home in two days.

Hi Kat.

Sorry to hear things aren’t feeling so great on your visit...😞

I hope you can manage to feel more at home as the time goes by maybe , family dynamics can be complex, both my parents have passed and my relationship with the rest of the family changed a lot ...I hardly see my brothers now, which is possibly good as they trigger me such a lot...

Time goes so quickly you will be travelling home before you know it ..

Sending you some peaceful vibes 🌹🌹🌹 xx
