8. I'm high anxiety.

I'm having trouble eating. I feel sick to my stomach. I am worried for my adoptive/step dad (85) and my mom (83.)

My (unemployed) half-sister lives with them and told me on the phone 1) It's like a flu, 2) It’s going away soon, 3) It's blown out of proportion. Sound familiar?

They don't have a plan and she's still going to the gym every day, picking up who knows who's germs.

They don’t listen to me, never have, even though I am the most educated in the family and am a retired direct primary care medical professional with over 30 years of experience.

I do feel a little better writing this. Thanks for asking. I am very thankful for my DU family and especially this group.

Thanks so much, irisblue.

Good luck to everyone.
