imogene,

i think each of our loved ones has a new habit that gets under our skin more

than anythiung else, no matter how much we try to reason it away to lbd, my dad

was the way he treated me like his whore to sell and yell at, and you is

driving, i know it is so hard to just take it, sometimes you have to break and

wehn you do, you inevitably do it in front of them although you try so hard not

to. which makes our loved ones even more confused. they didtn do anything wrong

so why are we so upset. lbd is definitely a curse and just try to take a deep

breath and breathe when they get like that becuase no matter waht you say or do

you are damned wrong, stay strong adn thanks for your being in my corner, it

is apprecaited more than words can saym, hugs, sharon m

Good for you Sharon M. I hope you pound it into their heads that they should

have been on top of your meds.

Me finding humor? Not always dear one. This morning I wanted to go

shopping. Having my LO tell me where to drive, too late, with cars scrambling

to stay

out of my tail pipe, I became a nervous wreck. Even in parking lots, " drive

here, go there, not there, go in this direction, " and he is pointing up. Oh

Dear Lord give me strength!

I was only going to get ink for the printer. Before it was over I was

driving 25 MPR and balling my eyes out. He finally ALMOST got the message. He

said

he was sorry, and he tried to be less of a control freak. I said he " tried. "

But, it happen all the time we were shopping. The last two days of running

errands have been horrible to say the least. It has left me a shattered mess. I

try to let him feel the man he is, and yet, when it come to driving, I can

hardly stand it sometimes.

The other day I saw his towel a mess where he had not cleaned himself after

he had used the toilet. I asked him to get back in the shower and I washed

him again. That was all right, but this driving thing is very hard. Very

hard!!!!

I do hope they get the stitches and staples out with the least amount of

discomfort, Sharon. You have dealt with more than several people put together.

My dear you deserve a special honor medal. What's a piece of metal? No, you

deserve all the love everyone can pour your way. You sure do have mine.
