Well, this is another of those blog entries written when I was hurt that gave me my outlet. It served its purpose, but it's time for it to come down now, lest it cause unintended and unnecessary hurt.
Unfortunately, you can't make the choices for your mother, all you can do is make the choices for you.
Kids are hard enough, but parents are a special kind of difficulty, because nobody is comfortable reversing the roles. I know that when I'm around my parents I still feel like a 12 year old. I truly dread the day when they can no longer live on their own, but I know it is coming (with my dad being 75 and my mom 70). Though I truly can't imagine living with them again (they are only 1200 miles away, we seem them 1-2 times a year).
Thanks you guys. BHD, you're absolutely right about how very wrong it is that she was so terrible to him. Especially in his own house. And especially when she pretended that everything was OK when I was home.

Wow. So sorry to hear of your husband's hurt. That bites. And it's wrong on a whole lot of levels.

I have to think on this some more.
That's just rude and wrong.
I'm sorry. *hug*
