My Supports
My support system is very tight knit and consists of
a few people. These two people are the
people I look to on a daily basis to help me throughout the day. My husband is all around support for me. He provides emotional, financial, mental, and
physical support. I go to him for everything
and whenever I am upset he was the first person I run too. He keeps me sane and provides emotional stability
in those times when I am all over the place.
Also he is the sole provider for our family. He took on this burden and encourage me to go
back to school in order to accomplish one of my personal goals. He helps me with our kids and cleans up around
the house. Also he when I have
difficulties around the house or with the cars he is the one I turn too. He gives so much support in many different
avenues on a daily basis. I love him for
that. My second support is my
mother. I talk to her almost every day. The support she gives me is mental and
emotional. As a mother of four, I tend
to get overwhelmed and lose patience with daily setbacks. I call her and she reassures me everything is
going to be ok and gives sound advice.
Yes every day I am running to my mother for one reason or another, from
how to cook a certain dish or for her to calm me down because one of my children
got into something. Every day I need two
people, if not, I wouldn't be able to make it through the day.
I rely on my support systems so much because I think
of the times I need to be at several places at one time. Like having I had a job interview, my son was
a special event at his school that was going on during the day and the school
wouldn't allow siblings. If this ever
happens I would need my support to help me keep it together and accomplish each
task. My husband would most likely take
time off work and go to the school and tape and send it to me. By doing this he is providing physical support
and relieving the stress of the mental and emotional guilt of not being there. My mother would stay with my other kids. Her support would also relieve the mental
distress.
These two people are always available when I need
them and the fact they are always available to provide support makes it much
easier on me. As stated before I
wouldn't know where I would be if they weren't part of my support system. If their support didn't exist I would be in
way over my head and I wouldn't be able to be good mother, wife, and I probably
be in a hospital receiving mental help. I need them every day.
