Thanks Kathryn for your post. It is good to hear that your Mother is doing well and that you like the facility that she is living in. My only living Aunt (92 years old) went to a care facility yesterday as she needs 24 hour care and all of her children work and are unable to take care of her. She has Parkinson’s and is getting worse. I wonder a lot how it will be if I am unable to take care of my Mother. There are some nice facilities here also. My Mother is slowing down both mentally and physically but can still take care of herself. I see her daily when I am at home. I try to help her as much as I can but I am not in denial that I may not be able to care for her when the time comes. We will have to see. My youngest Daughter text me today asking for money as she has no where to live. I told her no more money. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but I need to stop enabling her. Things will never change till she figures out her life. I talked to my oldest Daughter and she was reassuring me that I was doing the best thing. Honestly, I can’t keep doing what I have been doing as nothing changes. So I am hanging in there. I am going down to the city tomorrow to spend a few days with my Daughter and Grandson before I leave for San Diego. Tomorrow night is my Grandson’s baseball game. It will be fun!!! I am not having gambling urges. I am dealing with my sadness!
