Awww, Jeff, I think it's a good idea (and you made me smile). Maria, Jeff's idea is worth some thought. I'm sorry you're having to deal with your mom's outburst. Maybe your mom just needs to get this out of her system for a day or so and then she'll calm down. I'm sure she's funneling a lot of her angst into the situation with your H because she's experiencing fear with your dad's health and doesn't have anyone to fixate blame/anger on in that situation.
My heart goes out to you. I hope you find some peace during your vacation. DON'T GO HOME!
