Day By Day

[tadpole1025]

Your xw is still looking for ways to take pot shots at you. This is not the time for that kind of stuff, i.e., w/your mother in the shape she's in. Stop taking her bait and when you don't fuel your xw's fire, it will die out.

Very true Snodderly. It boggles me though. If she were truly happy, why still so angry? Seems to me that if I got everything I wanted, I would have no reason to be angry.

And yes, you are right. I should have stated my point and dropped it.

Look Tad. You can't get through to her. You can't have a "normal" conversation with her. She will listen to anyone other than you on this planet. But you she will not listen to. It's just not going to happen anytime in your lifetime. (most likely; I can't see the future any more than you can).

So true. I've thought ever since this mess started that she will listen to anyone, but me. I was the closest to her so I get pushed further away.

Update:

Sitch -

I got another angry text from her about child support last night. I didn't even fight her. I just told her goodnight. I read her text and just shook my head. Why so angry? Why still?

Mom -

She continues to decline. I see her every day. Everytime that I leave her, I think to myself: "how much worse can she get?"

She is suffering a lot more too. I want her around, but I hate to see her like this. She is awake off and on and really doesn't talk anymore. She will smile, nod her head or try to speak, but she really can't finish a sentence before getting confused or forgetting what she is saying or starting the sentence over and over. She is really weak. It breaks my heart.

Me -

I wouldn't be surprised if I am getting fired from my job. I've taken a lot of time off because of mom. The funny thing is, I really don't care. I can always get another job. I've only got one mom...
