I am in desperate need of someone NOT directly involved, with whom I can share feelings and maybe advice. Xmas day was basically the last straw. |
I do understand my mom lived w/ me because none of the other kids or grandkids made any effort to do anything even visit.I was 4 hours away & made the trip every weekend to see to her meds,clean house,wash,run errors & so on,until I said mom you have to come with me I can't do this anymore. One of her sons lived with her for years till she got sick,Then left & got an apartment.Oh yes he never gave mom a dime. Talk to me anytime you need too. God bless you!!
