150 days AF
Checking in. Guys I am so much better.
Thanks for your caring words @acromouse @JazzyS.
It was all in my head.
Through open communication I was able to clarify my concerns.
As you know I moved back in my parents house, that I am owning 50% and where only my mum lived since my dad died in November. It is a interim solution (maybe, maybe not) as I had all this damn trouble with the apartment and didnāt want to rent a new one for now.
I build up a lot of pressure in my head about my mum getting older and me being responsible for her! I was deep into these thoughts. I feel responsible. I do care. But itās not necessary that I align all my life to her, getting old. I am young and should live as free as I can. My personality type isā¦ Being a free bird lol.
Of course I am doing the more exhausting and hard things here, like groceries on hot days, mowing, so on. We both cook and doing the housework, all fine. We support each other.
I even didnāt want to make my 2 rooms nicer and nicer, due to the fact that I might move out again. All trouble in my head.
We talked about it.
About the getting older thing she said:
I can live here on my own, if I take it slow and got help from time to time, and if I donāt I will take my iPad, my mobile and my ebook, go into a retirement home and enjoy my life
She is funny. Pragmatic. My brain is more āonce around the world and back to point Aā.
About the moving out again or not, she said, she is totally open about that and it doesnāt matter how nice I will make the 2 rooms, itās nice for anyone, if I come at a weekend or if other guests or my niece come around. Itās a nice place, no matter if I stay or not.
I should learn from this mindset!
I donāt know now, what I will do. Itās nice here, the costs are low and this huge garden is such a plus. I will stay first of all, start the job and c how much mobile work will be possible after first months (agreed is 4 days per week). If I will still need a place on my own, I will maybe look for a small apartment round there.
As I got 150 days sober (wouhu) I will shop some decorations for my rooms this afternoon ā¦
By the way, already got a decent swim in today
Love you guys
