so often real life seems to get in the way of our plans, taking us down roads we hadn't intended on going or paths we weren't even aware existed.

it sounds like you have made their care and well being a priority in your life and that is not a bad thing. (do they have any grandkids that could help you out or pick up some of the slack?)

unfortunately we can't control everything. if we could i would be watching a movie now with my mom who would be ninety years old.

glad to hear it. you are fortunate.

as far as not having the desire to date it sounds understandable. there's a lot on your plate and, like i said, you've made your parents a priority. it's a very kind and loving thing for you to do. and perhaps they have become your primary relationship. when you're interested and ready to date or refocus some attention on another individual then you will.

wishing you all the best.
