If you where incapable of doing anything on your own, even breath, what would you want you family to do?

It depends. It allows the body time to heal in some cases. Some are even put in this situation (artificial or induced coma's)by doctors, in those situations its a good thing, beneficial. I suffer from Lupus which can in severe cases cause kidney failure, stroke brain disease etc. I have told my family and have a living will that if i am ever in the situation where there is no hope I do not want to be kept alive by machines. I have 5 kids. I would never want them to spend, or feel obligated to spend their days watching there mother like that. With that said if it were one of my kids on life support I'd probably fight them turning off the machine in desperate hope for the breakthrough or miracle cure. It's a hard question. I guess the answer is both

I am a father and I have large family. The first think I do is to retreat in my privet room and stay there for sometime alone. I need this time to re-energize. You did not ask what the second thing I do so I will not answer. LOL

I would much rather have control over what happens to me - why let someone else's "perspective" make you do things that probably won't work for *you,* right?\n\nIf I had children, I would make sure I stress maintaining that ability I've provided them: to think for themselves.

You will need to have a break completly. Do you have parents or are the father's parents willing to take them for a weekend or so?

First of all I would very much lik to be alive and well enough to be there for my children.\nI would like achieve the best I believe I can in all things of life and still be a decent person-as I always will be anyway.

Responsibility shouldn't keep you from being happy. Depending on your native custom, I think you should pursue your own happiness. Do what will make you happy, and keep your family close.

Not me. My family is enough to take care of.

Okay Cool man. Now tell me who bring you to this world either you by yourself thought of coming in this world and you selected your parents.No So you dont. and you will not die until God wishes even though you try your best. Finally each breath you are taking are you breathing of your own No. So every thing happens with the help and by Gods permission. If He says stop then it stop.

Hmmmm, let`s see, Do your friends buy your groceries? Do your friends buy your clothes? Do your Friends take care of you when you are sick? Will your Friends be there when you are in trouble? I think not..\n\nONLY YOUR FAMILY WILL DO THESE THINGS. Your family should be the most important thing in life, next to GOD.. Your friends will come and go, but your Mom and Dad will ALWAYS be your parents.. \n\nTell them to live their own life and you will live yours.. Where do they get off talking to you like that? They are bad mouthing not only you, but your family as well. They need to grow up... \n\nWhy should you try to adjust your life according to what your friends think??. You need to go your own way. You are an adult. Stand up for your self and tell them to kiss off.. \n\nGood luck and God Bless\n\n{:-)\n\n<><

You are right.  You can't do anything.  It is up to your aunt.  She is an adult and can change her situation when she wants to.

Tell someone who has the power to commit her or make her see a doctor.  This would be a parent or husband.

because my husband is in Iraq i will be at home with our two kids 1 and 3 and do my usual routine. and maybe get myself a little gift. i am from Germany and there you usually help out your mom around the house and bake a cake for her. one of my rules has always been that she can not get up to do anything. hm...maybe my kids will do that for me.  LOL

Follow your own spiritual path, but let them come to their own conclusions about their path. You can only be accountable for yourself. Just be the best for yourself you can. Be peaceful and try to live by example. Maybe your family will notice without needing to say anything.

You should do what your heart tells you to do. Don't listen to what other people might push you to do. Do what you feel is right. And do what you want, that's the most important thing. Your family will understand your decision.
