The mom front is a whole other issue. She creates her own misery and won't allow anyone to help her. She doesn't want people coming into the house except the nurse from our church that visits with her once a month. She doesn't like to talk on the phone in chit-chat, and she can't really get out even with the senior services. She's housebound with the exception of going to dialysis 3 times per week. I try to get her to let me take her places with me - NO. She doesn't feel like it. Even just to go to a movie - nope. I'm pretty much done letting her reactions to my going places control me. She'll just have to realize that I am in need of companionship and I have to go elsewhere to find it and that is that!!!
Sounds good!!! Yeah, your mom chooses to live life the way she does, and you should choose to live life the way you want! Hope you are having a good weekend!!! Karen
