Isolation and Trust Issues

[MakersDozn]

Hi TW and The People,

Thank you both. We appreciate both of your replies.

One thing that we didn't mention is the scarcity of time and physical (and mental) energy in our life. For the past three years, our father has had health issues (which are stable now, although he was in crisis for a while). He has had to give up some of his independence, and that has put the onus on us and our two brothers to spend time and energy helping him with certain things.

We do agree that volunteering has value. But at this point, beyond being an admin here at MM, we don't have much left in our energy tank to volunteer elsewhere.

Thanks again,

MDs
