YESSSSSSSSS

Teppy, I miss and love you.

I miss and love you, too, Cindy! ♥♥♥

Our dog now has old dog vestibular disease

Wobbly dog? Kato had that when he was an older fellow.

She's so fricking drunk, Teppy!

I'm shamelessly promoting my Adios 2022 post, because it was hard, and I want your empathy.

I just read it! Sweetheart, that is A LOT. Too much, in fact. Being the caretaker for a parent is hard enough when their temperament is good (or even neutral). But when they're difficult, mean, or suddenly a dirty old man (in the case of my FIL), it's really really fucking hard. Honestly, I'm glad that Covid gave you a break from mom duty.

I love you so much.

Woo hoo! (Also, I need ATTENTION in the year-end thread.)

She was so mean. I would have left her, but I knew it was (mostly) the drugs making her mean. I am sorry DH had COVID for his sake, but otherwise? I am grateful. This was abuse.

Honestly, I'm supposed to see her Sunday (10 days after DH tested negative), but I kind of don't want to. I will, because I'm that kind of kid, but man.

When my dad was in the hospital in May, he was literally out of his mind, talking to hallucinations and being really shitty to me (with a bonus of Dadpenis because he was thrashing around in the hospital bed and the gown rode up and exposed him [if I could selectively remove the brain cells with that memory, I would]). It’s just awful when parents are in a vulnerable state and need care but are mean at the same time.
