Talk it through with Rabia
You're caring for your kids and your parents at the same time
You are raising children and caring for aging parents at once, pulled in both directions with nothing left for yourself. Everyone needs you, all the time, and you are running on empty — loving them all and quietly disappearing under the weight of it.
◆ How this problem reads on the two dials
GuidanceKnowledge
1:1 with RabiaWith others (a Pod)
Inner work of self-protection and letting go (guidance) plus practical support-gathering (knowledge). Involves family on both sides.
How the two dials adapt to you →What’s really going on
You are in what people call the sandwich — squeezed between the generation coming up and the one going down — and it is one of the heaviest seasons a life can hold. Hear this first: it is two full jobs on one pair of shoulders, and no one carries it gracefully. Something must give, and it must not be you — protect the caregiver or it all falls. Gather every hand you can and let the help be imperfect. Let us find where the weight can come off.
