Thanks P for your support and advice. I haven’t gambled. I have done a lot of work on myself through counseling and those resources have helped me to be able to think things through before I leap back into the gambling nightmare. As soon as my Mom’s heart issue is resolved I’m going to have a heart to heart talk with my Sister concerning my Mom’s mental issues. We need to have her tested for Alzheimer’s. Maybe with both of us working together, We can come up with a plan. I had a paralegal draw up her power of attorney, will, last wishes, ect. last year. I am her executor and can make decisions for her if she is unable to. I know she is going to fight us about being tested. I hope that I don’t have to go through the courts to have her deem incompetent. She is so darn mean and nasty! I think she is reacting this way because she is scared as she knows something isn’t right with her mental state. She says some bizarre things. It just gets tiring dealing with it. Sometimes, I feel like I am losing my mind, that’s when I have to detach from her and have my own personal space. A person can only take so much. Honestly, I never see her happy. She is either moping around, being angry, or putting other’s down. Some of these traits are not new but part of her personality. I do think that I need counseling to help me deal more effectively.
