Living situation
« on: April 16, 2015, 05:26:07 am »
I am almost 60 years old and live in a house with my daughter, my husband and my grandson. I love them all, but the stress and tension has almost become unbearable for me. I am thinking of leaving and tiring to get a low income apartment.  How do you all feel about leaving your family to keep your sanity?

I think a better question would be how does your family like it? A little communication might smooth things over so you wouldn't need to leave.

I agree with Old Buddy.  I think you need to let the family know how you feel so maybe everyone can try a little harder to get along.

You may have to live in a low income housing facility if your income is very low and no longer capable of paying your mortgage or rent. That's what I'm doing.

Sometimes in situations like that you have to do what you believe is best for you. You cannot please everyone and you cannot make everyone happy. Also, if this pertains to your sanity remember the first law of nature. " Self preservation before anything else"

I'd talk it over with them and see what is causing the stress and what possible answers there may be to make things easier for everyone

I am planning to move next month and I cannot wait to get away from these individuals that I live with now. We are family, but it seem hard to tell.

You have to do what's best for you. It sounds like you know what that is.

I agree with Old Buddy. Even though a few feathers may be ruffled, you will all be better for it in the long run.

i think its time to sit down and talk try to hash out hurt feelings before you just up and leave.  which would just cause more hurt feelings in the long run.

talk first and give things time to cool off then move if you still need to.
