Folks,
It has been a toughie last end of the year for this one. Just before samhain my step-mum crossed over. Buried her before Thanksgiving. Now having to be over at my dads home 3-4 days a week, looking after him, and already dealing with other problems. Lost the vision in my left eye. Had to postpone weight loss surgery. Having to deal with worthle4ss free advice of mid western relatives.
Not sure if I can work Southern Faire. Money issues, student loans,( just got my Master's Degree), and relatives wanting me to move in with my dad, which would really be the death of me! And i mean it, all ways socially, spiritually and means of privacy. I've told my relatives it ain't happening. I will be there a few days weekly, but not moving to an area and jsut leave behind where i've been anchored and know where everything is.
These people act like it's so fucking easy to do that. just pick up, leave and move somewhere where you have nothing in common with. OK, let one of them leave Missouri and do that. Faire is where I live, and don't see these people except at Faire. So, I might see if i can change my schedule, because I will NOT attend as a customer.
could use some spiritual uplifting to the God/dess/es for a little (actually a hell of a lot) help and assistance, and wisdom here, folks. Help!!!!!
Love you all,
Mel

Re: Hey all you pagan faire goers! Help!
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 10:20 AMConsider contacting a local in home care agency that can go by dad's house, give him moral support, do leaning, meal prep, run him about. Costs are usually reasonable for this, and he may qualify for financial assistance or a discount through social services.
This would allow you to do what you need to do to make an income. And tell the relatives that they can get off their behinds and help out as well.

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 10:33 AMHospice is a great place to look for help, and I believe the cost is minimal if any at all. I had them come in to care for my grandfather and my mother. I agree that the other relatives should get off their butts and help too. It's not u[p to you to do everything at the expence of yourself. *hugs* Take care of yourself.
