Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Donna Thanks for your thoughts. Somehow I always feel the need to try and make sure Mom understands what is going on. Part of it is just becasue it is the right thing to do and partly because I know she has the potential to forget the whole discussion and then turn around and accuse me of doing something awful. I guess I haven't fully come to grips with the fact that she WON'T remember and she WILL blow sideways on me. It is just so terrible when you are trying your best and then she gets so paranoid. We are the only people in her life, the only ones she has to help her, we try so hard and then she lashes out at us. We are currently facing a challenge getting mom moved closer to us. We are only in the application stages, tons of paperwork gathering and submitting. I know it is causing her much anxiety which in turn causes me much anxiety. So I go on repeating myself, explaining about the move and why I need her papers etc. I can't wait till she is moved closer, huge relief, and I can go back to just telling her what day it is 5 times in a row. Happy Holidays & ginny 83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
