QUESTION

Dear Linda, I am dealing with a very delicate family situation at present, and would appreciate your input on the matter. My brother and sister-in-law became parents to a beautiful baby girl a little over two months ago and I was delighted to be asked to be godmother.

At first I was asked to look after the baby occasionally to give my sister-in-law a break, being a first time mum she was finding it difficult. Myself and my husband have never been blessed with any children and I was only too delighted to help out, however, what was occasional minding has turned into something else.

While I love my niece I am being expected to mind her every weekend and sometimes I am called on during the week. I fear that my sister-in-law may be suffering from post natal depression and not coping. I tried speaking to my brother about it but he refuses to believe it. My husband also fears I am becoming too emotionally attached to my niece and says I do nothing but complain about being tired. It is causing arguments between us. Your advice would be gratefully appreciated. Sincerely, AM.

ANSWER

Dear AM, While I woulld be no expert on post natal depression it is very obvious there is a problem. You say your brother refuses to listen to you, perhaps a close family member of your sister-in-law would be prepared to listen or even her parents.

You don’t want to fall out with your brother, however the situation cannot go on for all involved. It is natural that you are getting attached to your niece while she is left in your care, however, it is not a healthy situation all round and your sister-in-law certainly needs some advice from a professional on the matter.

÷ FIRST CARD: BOUNDARIES

A sincere desire to give of service is wonderful. However, there’s a distionction between giving of yourself and giving up yourself. If you feel tired, guilty or resentful while helping others, then you’re not truly helping them, are you? You’re injecting poisionous energies into the relationship., and then no one benefits.

Step back and reassess the situation. As you respect your own boundaries, others will begin to recognise and respect them within you, and within themselves as well. Now that’s a healthy behaviour to teach others! ÷ ADVICE/OBSTACLE: TAKE ACTION

Dive right in! There’s no need for more research or time. You can trust your feelings on this one. The angels will guide you through the actions that are necessary, considering the circumstances. Your main concern is to avoid procrastination at all costs.

Break the situation down into small steps so that you don’t become overwhelmed. Then, take those steps in regular intervals. You already know what to do about this situation, and you have made up your mind to take action. The angels are here to validate your decision is on the path of Light.

Sometimes you may feel too emotional or tired to take action. That is because your unsure of the correctness of your decision. Usually unfounded guilt is the culprit that is draining your energy and happiness. This is when it’s very important to call upon the angels to shore your faith. Notice how the doors open smoothly with each step you take. This is one more sign that you’re taking the best course of action.

÷ OUTCOME: SIX OF AIR

Things are looking up, and the worst is now behind you! There’s finally light at the end of the tunnel. and stress and strain fade from your life. The winds of change are blowing - and it’s a favorable wind.
