How did that effect you?
Evil.
So I posted that on FB, which led to the scapegraces who I call friends immediately bombarding me with misuses/misspellings of "aw" and all other manner of deliberate spelling errors.
We're helpful.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Totally different situation but Consuela's mom just reminded me of when my mom flipped out in hospice and called me to come and get her. She had many complaints, but the biggest complaint? "They are drugging me"...which was a big point of her going into hospice care so she would be drugged out of her pain. Something we had very calmly discussed way before it ever got to that point.
But that night, she just flipped out. I ended up packing a bag and sleeping in the room with her. If she could have gotten herself out of bed, I have no doubt she would have tried to rush the doors.
I feel for you, Consuela. Add me to the folks thinking you dad may need a break from her. Maybe that will help give him the strength to stand up to her.

That could be good for him, but awful for her. She's utterly, completely, dependent on him. And, frankly, he would feel terrible about it: I'm not sure how much benefit he would gain. Although I am thinking about it...

Arrrggggg. Just got an e-mail from my dad regarding Christmas prezzies for my family. We have a choice of tickets to see Robin Williams or money towards a new washer/dryer (mine are close to 20 years old and limping along).

Consuela, even just a meal out with youo and your sister? A chance for him to take a deep breath and not have to be strong.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all this, Consuela. I have been supporting you with my brain, although not so much with the typing. It seems to me that she was pretty miserable at home, too. Is there any way to convince your father that no place is going to make her happy or turn her back into the woman she used to be, but at least she's safe at the residential facility? I've seen some pretty hard cases change their minds after a few weeks in a facility, but she's not going to do any adjusting if she's focused on leaving.

I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but me too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Me too, Consuela.

I'm mostly hoping your dad doesn't cave, Consuela.
