Take on Only What You Can Handle

Too Much Responsibility Can Kill You

Pete is one of the nicest and kindest people I know but this good nature ness has overwhelmed his good judgment. God know we should all be kinder and more gentle people, but in the process we should save a small quantity of wellness for ourselves.

Pillow Consideration

In other words when the sun sets everyday everyone’s head should hit the pillow and then good dreams should consume our sleeping. But this wont happen if your day is filled with pain and suffering all the time. And I don’t mean physical pain; the kind of pain I’m taking about is emotional. You know those kinds of feelings that refuse to leave you in peace for even one minute.

Now Theres Just Him & the Kids

Pete met this emotional lady with five kids and then one day before waking up Pete found himself caring for the kids all by himself. His future wife grabbed a new mate left her children and headed for freedom in California.

Hope Springs Eternal

The last time I saw him his physical and emotion wellness was in the sewer. He looked like he had aged five years in just a few months. Because of his large heart he was still raising the children and holding on to hope that the mother would soon see the error of her ways and return to his loving arms and that of the children.

No Options

I suggested that getting help from social services could relieve the pressure and give his life back to him. Right or wrong these children were his and giving them up was no option from his point of view.

Always Keep Your Emotions Well Rooted

Knowing your limitations and being honest with yourself is a human necessity if one wishes to survive in this world. So do the right thing for everyone and take care of your emotional and physical needs. Remember you need emotional wellness to. So well on, even if it hurts.
