the people from intervention need to be called in to talk to your dad. talking to mom is pointless, but I thik at this point he is not grasping how much damage he is doing by enabling.

Can you imagine actually having Jeff Van Vonderen on call in your life? That would be amazing. "Mo-OM! It's not that.... you know what? Talk to Jeff."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What show were some of you guys describing as having indistinguishable guys?
I know that sleeping pills can gradually lose efficacy, but would they have rebound effects?

I feel like it was Nashville.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Consuela, strength to you and yours. I realized when my Mom was so close to death a few years back, that she was operating in a logic-free space where her emotional back was to the wall. I felt like the worst caretaker in the world! Even though she had next to no dementia, which could have only made it much, much worse.
(I'm beginning to wonder if it wouldn't be kinder to lie to your Mom, that the apartment was damaged in an earthquake, so she's in temporary housing until it can be repaired. Repeat as necessary.)

Thrive to spite them
My Mom and her siblings lied to my Grandmother after they got her moved into the assisted living (Grandma had dementia and couldn't remember anything for more than a few minutes). Basically told her the house was sold when it wasn't. It was in the process of being sold (my Aunt had PoA of my Grandma's affairs). They also lied to her about her brother, he was her only suriving sibling. When he died they told her once but she was so upset that they just said he was in a good place after that. (They lived in different states).

There's evidently a new variation on an old soft drink: "Sierra Mist Natural" -- the tag line on their billboards is "Real Flavor, Real Sugar". Which I guess is supposed to make them better than HFCS, healthwise... but "natural"? Last time I checked, white sugar is about as processed and un-natural as HFCS.
