Question 1.
Maybe, although I still don't know everyone in my neighborhood. I think there was an old lady that lived 2 or 3 doors down, but I think she may have died :/ as I remember there being Police cars and officers by her home, which has now been sold and I didn't even know it was up for sale.
I know my old neighbour from the end of the next street, as I sometimes get his mail at my house here. If I see him, I'll stop and chat, only thing is... he's hard to get away from😅
Question 2.
I was basically a carer for my Dad when he came out of a mental hospital, whilst my mother was in. He kind-of varied with what he was like when he was in & out of the place. When he was first out, he could at least wash & dress himself, but he was difficult to get to do things like take his meds, sometimes he would just stay in bed, and i would have to stay in also, as he was unpredictable.
Later releases though he did much less, although my mother dealt with him more and better, as she used to be a Nurse looking after mentally handicapped kids.
I wouldn't really want to do that again, as it was a lot for me to do, and I'm not good at ordering people around. I did it because it was my Dad and thought it was better he be at home than in that awful hospital.
Question 3.
I probably would be, but I'm not often collared.
Question 4.
Oh definitely, time passes by quickly. My eldest sis lives nearby, and she's just turned 53. My nephew lives a few streets over, and he's 30 next year, my niece also used to live in my town, but she moved. She's 31 and is getting married in 2 years. I'm almost 37...
I feel sad that I missed out on seeing my niece & nephew growing up, as family life at home was chaotic. I feel quite distant from them, even though their family. I also don't feel like I even know much about my oldest sis either.
Question 5. I want to experience as much as I can, as I was sheltered for far too long, and probably don't have as long a life left because of illnesses and stress.
But most of it is experienced by myself, and doesn't feel quite the same, and I'm limited in what I can do because of lack of life experience and anxiety. |
