Mish... It looks like Gabe was trying to "agree" with you that she is a witch - I would just pity him and then not think about it anymore. She must be very special for him to think of her that way - I mean, I would be hugely pissed if my partner had sent that "joke" about me - and he sent it to his ex!
Now, about you, my friend. Your mom seems to be in the position she is in due to some of her own personality (you have mentioned before how she can be demanding and controlling, etc.). It doesn't sound like she has many, or any, friends.
YOU DO!! You are not her. And even she has her daughter (and you will always have Marc).
I can imagine how scary it was to be alone with your mom while she fell. I cared for my grandmother-in-law for 6 months, and know the dead weight thing. Also my mom. That is why I had urged you to try to find some help from Visiting Nurses, or maybe even hospice at this point. Someone at the hospital where she gets her dialysis might be able to help. I know that she doesn't like the idea of having a "stranger" come and help, but she is going to have to get over that! It is simply not fair to you.
