- Go to Sometimes You Have to Take Care of You
I, too, have cared what others think about. The funny thing is that I have thought that way about strangers' views of me way too much.

Mike.....
I love it that you love your family enough to take care of them. God is good. He knows you love him and your church and your family and that you are not omniscient, or omnipresent and in this world must make choices with our time and our money and our duties.

Actually, that was a selfless act. I know how exhausted you are, and people say to me, Make sure to take care of yourself! Sometimes that just isn't possible, you know you aren't sure that you can do another day, but we do.

I worry about what others think, too, mostly because I think deeper than I should about everything. I am a natural-born worrier who tries to please the people who are in my daily life, which can lead to stress overload.

Good Afternoon
I'm sure everyone understood and that you did the right thing. I think your wife really does need care right now. There is nobody who would want to see her fall.
