Melodystar -- I can't begin to say that I "know" how you feel, but I can
try. I too am a giving person who up until a couple years ago, when I was diagnosed with a medical condition, was always the one that everyone turned to for help. Have you talked to your family about their tendency to rely so heavily on you and not help you? Is this a possibility?
Meanwhile, my heart's with you...do take care. red

well
at least I know now where to go for help when I start our big move!
I'm dreading the act of moving, but praying for it to happen quickly! Hey, if you all come help me, I'll butcher a couple chickens and we'll have lunch.

As someone who has recently moved and had little help
I understand but sadly I can't help. But I will say I am emerging out the other side. You will too.

Melody...
Isn't life just like that. You go out of your way to do for others and there's nobody to do for you. Take things a little easier and rest up. Don't run yourself to a wreck and I agree that when noone else can do for you, God can!

I am sooo sorry!
This happened to me also. Back in 1993, we decided to move from Pennsylvania to Nevada and not one person would lift a hand to help me. My husband decided to work all the way up to moving day, and that left approximately 3 hours of help from him. I cleaned, packed, and filled the van and U-haul until I thought that I would drop. I was sick through most of the day to make matters worse. When the landlord arrived to give us our deposit, I politely and calmly put my hand out and said thankyou. My husband looked shocked as he expected to get that money. After all of that work, I deserved it and was thinking to myself, 'You can kiss my ass buddy'! After traveling awhile, he finally apologized and told me that I deserved the money. Its a real shame that you can't get some of your neighbors to help. You would think that your hubby would know that you need help, but after what mine did, I am beginning to think that they feel it is womans work.

it sounds like you are on overload. I call it 'full tilt boogy'. Maybe a good dose of Psalms would help? Women are famous for stretching themselves to the point of breaking. That's one reason I started my new blog in 'family', "I am woman, see me shine". This too shall pass.
BTW, do you mind me asking what your handicap is? You can tell me NO, that's an o.k. word to use.

Melodystar,
I feel for you, and don't beat yourself for "whining". It's not whining to say you need help, it's legitimate: everyone has limits. God give you strength.
