That sounds like a tough situation for everyone to deal with. Hugs!

Thanks my friend. Hugs are definitely appreciated!

I'm glad you joined us for the last season of Idol. It wouldn't have been quite the same without you.

I'm sorry for all the difficulty your mother has caused you. It's hard when people refuse to be helped. You can't force them, but it's hard to watch them fall apart.

Hugs to you.

Hugs back! It's definitely hard. There is guilt trying to be imposed by others who perceive I'm not doing enough. But I can only do so much and still maintain my own life and sanity!

There is only so much you can help someone who refuses to meet you half way. I am SURE you are doing all you can.

Please try to not feel guilty. You ARE a good daughter.

::hugs::

Thanks! I don't feel guilty. Frustrated, yes. My sister is the one who will feel builty because she has not come back and left this stuff to me. She will come riding in on her white charger soon enough and of course she'll get all the glory and then go back across the country leaving me with the garbage. No matter. hahaha.
Hugs to you!

I'm glad you shared this, and that you're playing Idol this season.

I enjoyed the way you worked that old superstition into your current reality!
It sounds like your Mom's refusal to let you help now could make it harder for everyone down the road. Sigh...

Oh yeah. it's going to be a mess when she passes. Guaranteed. But for now I just do what I can and don't let others try to manipulate.

It was good talking to you the other day! Huggles!

Goodness, that must be so frustrating-- especially because she does not learn and refuses to value her own welfare over her desperate need to feel independent. I can understand why she feels that way, but ultimately, it isn't helping her or her husband.

My mother has an obsessive need for control in all things so this isn't surprising. But it really isn't helpful nor is it healthy for her. I could have written a novel but figured I'd better stop! haha. Oh well it is what it is. Thanks for reading!

This sounds exactly like my own mother's behavior.
Every suggestion that I made was ignored nor did she ever bother to follow her doctor's advice.
My father waited until his own health reached the point that he couldn't stand it any longer and then got mad at his doctor when he was diagnosed as having cancer.
They're both gone now.
Had the two of them done the health stuff they should have, I'd probably still have the pair of them in my life.
:(

It is so frustrating when there is nothing we can do. I know this is going to end in disaster but don't know when that will happen. It's a sad thing but I hope my mother passes before her husband because it'll then be his daughter's issue and not mine. He's been controlled by my mother for so long that it'll be a total mess. Oh well. We just do what we can do!
Hugs!
