Day By Day

[tadpole1025]

Hello all. It is time for a new thread and the last one can be found here:

My mother is dying. XW wants to be my friend.

There really isn't much going on, but thought I would start a new thread or "chapter."

I think I am better as far as XW is concerned. I just don't have time for her garbage and haven't talked or texted with her since her tirade of spew a few weeks ago.

I get the feeling that my boys seem to be detaching from her as well. I don't know this for sure. It is just a feeling.

As for mom:

She is out of Hospice and now at home. However, we may be moving her to a group home this week. I can't afford to miss much more work and I have been her primary caregiver since she has been home. I have an older brother, but he hasn't done anything to help her or me. He has a drug/gambling problem and my younger brother passed away a few years ago. I'm really all she has. I've been spending some of every day with her and we have had some really great conversations and a lot of tears. We both know that her time is getting close. We just take it day by day. I feel like I have cried more tears these past three years (sitch/mom) than I did in the previous forty.

I've never felt more alone in all of my life. I guess I better get used to it huh?

Please keep us in your prayers.

Tad
