I have always had issues with people coming into my home. I can not handle my safe zone being invaded. This sounds harsh and somewhat weird but I am very uncomfortable with other people in my space.

I knew that this would eventually happen when I had to move Mom in with me. This weekend there are 15 nieces/nephews with spouses coming to the house to see mom. She is the last of the orginal 7 children and these people, my cousins, visit "in groups" at least once a year.

Well, it was always OK for me cuz they were at Mom's house. I could go over, say hello, apologize for having other plans and leave and go back home.

Well, now they will be in my house, and hey, I just don't do company.

The closer this weeked gets the more anxious I am getting. I can't say "don't come". Mom is their only link to their deceased parents. They have questions AND they do love my mom. They have every right to visit and Mom has every right to have company. What the hell am I going to do.

If I excuse myself and go up to my room, take my word for it, someone will follow me to see if "I'm OK?" AUGH!!

Everyone wants to see our new place so there will be people wandering around all over the place. This is going to be a flaming disaster for me.

I am open for an suggestions on how to get through this! Right now I am just planning on lots of drugs!
