I'm scheduled to be on a train leaving Charlottesville in exactly 24 hours. The plan was to provide a little relief for my sister as she takes care of my parents. No one wants to really hear the details nor do I think I should write them all out.
We've been in a crisis for the last month and my sister has chosen a solution that I do not agree with and I do not support. Because of this, I am considering not going on the trip and focusing on my life here.
I did not make the choices my sister made and I feel less obligated to assist. I have a life I would like to live and I have a business that needs my focus. When I get off the train in Trenton, I am subjected to levels of negativity that are not helpful.
No one really wants to hear the details. Do dreams count? In one last night I rehearsed what I wanted to say to my sister about the choice she has made, one I think was done against advice of medical professionals.
The good thing about writing about my life and then reviewing is that I've been in this situation before, dealing with poor choices.
Which way will this turn of events go?
