Yes, actually I do believe that is the right thing to do. Not by what I think others will say, but by my own code of behavior.
I was just being a bit defensive because I know many people wouldn't hold that belief. And that's okay too; I have a lot of unusual views about the behavior I expect from myself. They may not even be what I expect from others. Perhaps it's the OCD.
Anyway, I will probably start the Luvox tonight.
Thanks for your words of support.
By the way, I should mention that my parents (especially my mother) would rather kill themselves and me too rather than go into any sort of retirement community, or even hire someone to come to their house and help out. I'm going to try to convince them to hire someone, but it may take a very long time. But even if I do my best it's not going to be as much as they need, so eventually they're going to have to give in and hire someone, and start taking cabs too! No amount of oppressive super-ego or conscience in the world would have me agreeing to take them into my home. So you see, I do have limits.
