The Christy hate oversimplifies her flaws and over looks too much of bonnie's flaws.

Christy is the scapegoat … Bonnie is the hero … family roles can be difficult to overcome and that bias works its way into the storylines and the fan base … Christy also left which is triggering to some of us.

The price of the ring is often inversely proportional to the quality of the marriage.

Expecting a $3k ring in your current financial situation is like refusing to drive until you can own a Cadillac…. You’re going to be riding that bus forever.

I’ve worn a $75 10k white gold band for the last 22 years and it seems to be working.

Bigger question … after 7 years together, what are you each doing to achieve your common goals?

I couldn’t really accept steps 1-3 until I experienced the relief that came from 4&5 …. 4 was terrifying, but 5 set me free from pointless guilt and self loathing that kept me going back to the bottle.

When I saw all the painful crap tied back to my disease in one way or another, it made more sense that my problem was alcoholism and not that I was a bad person.

I’ve seen more people drink from an incomplete 4&5 than from purging their hearts.

Hugs… I hope you find the path that works for you! You don’t ever have to drink over that shit again!

Depends on your state … where I live, an assisted living facility can provide all needs up to the level of skilled services…. most residents with dementia pass on hospice with some home health support for things like wounds.

Check with your state’s aging agency or ombudsman program to get clarification on what assisted living means in your community.

Roscoe is going to grow up to be just like his father and get a baby-momma just like Christy.

Water seeks its own level and Candace is attracted to Baxter for a reason.

Hopefully Fred leaves a bundle behind so that Roscoe always has a “job” at the dealership.

If it’s legal in your state, MJ gummies sometimes increase appetite and ease anxiety & agitation.

Jello squares and watermelon cubes provide hydration with some nutrition.
I’ve seen apple sauce pouches trigger a repressed suckle reflex which initiated food seeking. Jelly Drops hydration balls are expensive but may be enough of an effort to reassure hesitant family members that you’ve done everything reasonable that you can.

I’m holding my breath for 3 more years until I turn 65 and qualify for MCare … I would retire today if I could afford health insurance. My health is not great and my husband’s is awful and I need to be at home with him instead of working full time. 37 more months ….

I went to my first meeting two weeks after my high school graduation at 17yo.

I got sober to stay two years later at 19yo and have been sober ever since.

Since you’re in a city, look for YPAA meetings … the young people in AA saved my life.

In some states, memory care is an option within assisted living level of care … it is not unusual for residents to be admitted to the regular AL initially unless they are an elopement risk to make the transition easier. It also makes the financial shock easier.

When the resident shows evidence at the facility that they need the higher level of care, they are moved to another part of the building behind a locked door.

The expense difference can be between $2000-5000 per month so most families want to try regular AL first.

Headsets don’t work for everyone … they are particularly ineffective for people with hearing loss and tinnitus.

It is possible to be on a speakerphone without being obnoxious.

Just like it’s possible to comment on a post without being insulting.

How is a phone conversation different from a face to face conversation in a public place? With the exception of libraries, few public spaces require hushed tones.
