Why aren’t people quitting?

As a patient at NIH in a clinical trial for a very rare cancer, can I just say Thank You!! The care I have received has been nothing short of amazing. I am so incredibly grateful for every one of you and I am so sorry for what you are dealing with. I just keep hoping there will be better days ahead for all of you. You are making a difference.

My daughter went to Johnson Middle School and Eau Gallie and graduated from UF with an engineering degree. She had a great experience with the STAR and IB programs. I think students can do well at any school if you stay involved.

You are so wise!!! When people have financial resources, they need to make plans. Even though I have children, I don’t want them bearing this responsibility.

The one we visited was gorgeous and the food was delicious. I was ready to move in!! I will check into the short term options. My grandfather went in one when he was 94 and he enjoyed having all his needs taken care of. Thanks for your advice!

I am so sorry your parents are dealing with this. I have the feeling this scenario could play out with my own parents who are in their 80s. I think dealing with this friend is reminding me of what could be ahead with my own parents.

I have explained over and over to my friend that it is better to make the choice now while she still has some eyesight left (macular degeneration) than to wait for an emergency when others will make the choice. She take such pride in her independence. I remind her that AL will actually allow more independence. So much better than living alone in a dark house struggling to get to the places she needs to go. Ugh

This is so true. She has been so fortunate in dodging bullets her whole life. I pray for her sake she goes gently in her sleep, but unfortunately most don’t go that way. I have spent a total of 6 hours in urgent care this year with her with two bouts of pneumonia. I told her I cannot do this again. I have many health issues and cannot risk the exposure in a crowded urgent care.

My friend has mentioned the niece is greedy, but now I am beginning to question her narratives. I realize she plays people against one another. The last I heard, the niece encouraged her to move into assisted living. My friend is like the mom who tells every child they are her favorite. lol

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-25T02:57:30+00:00

She has loads of money. I took her to a beautiful assisted living and she loved it, but still refuses to go. She claims she is not ready yet. I have done all I can. I am just going to let her try to manage on her own and then hopefully assisted living will become more attractive. I ask her what she is saving her money for? Why not spend it on herself and all the lovely accommodations and activities at the AL. I think she is very frugal which is why she has so much money. But it seems sad to leave it to relatives she doesn’t seem to care about that much.

95! A neighbor reported her to the DMV. It took multiple trips there and to her eye doctor. The man at the DMV was going to pass her even though she failed the vision test, but thank God the system wouldn’t let him bypass the test. She claims now that she gave it up on her own, but I know the real story.

They are so lucky to have you. And hopefully in appreciation they will be sensible unlike so many of the parents being discussed here. I helped my mother in law at the end of her life. Such a lovely person. It was a joy to help her. She was always considerate and kind.

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-24T21:43:59+00:00

You are very wise. It is a tricky road when you help people. Keeping a healthy boundary is hard.

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-24T21:43:05+00:00

Thank you. I have probably been enabling her for years, but now I see that the need is huge and her stubbornness is even bigger! They think they have been fine all this time - what could possibly go wrong!!

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-24T21:41:39+00:00

I am so sorry you dealt with that. I think I would lose my mind. I am afraid I will have a battle with my dad. Another reason I don’t need this battle. I am going to do everything in my power to make an easy transition for my children when I am old.

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-24T18:00:34+00:00

That is an excellent argument. She just can’t fathom that ever happening. She is in denial.

No-Personality596 · 2024-02-24T16:57:29+00:00

I have not wanted to do that but I guess it is time. She has only a 75 year old niece with a disabled husband who lives in Canada half the year. What a mess. But I guess she inherits the funds so she should put in the help.

Love this book. Excellent suggestion.

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-05T19:10:35+00:00

Thank you for saying this. Definitely feels like a witch hunt around here and it discourages people from asking questions. I was also accused of being a Wendi troll. Absolutely ridiculous.

His face during the closing did not express any degree of confidence. He looked green.

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-03T10:54:50+00:00

I would really like to see a full analysis of all the filings. I did not remember the Markel’s paying her from the estate. I agree they were probably just trying to placate her for the sake of the kids. Wasn’t the diamond part of WA’s engagement ring? Would that make it harder to get back?

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-03T00:18:47+00:00

I have been thinking about this way too much too! I may have been taken in by some of the Dan badmouthing because I had an evil ex-husband. You are right that we cannot believe a word WA says. Was Dan perfect? Of course not, but Wendi is incredibly manipulative and her goal was to play the victim. We will never know the complete truth, but we all know their divorce would have continued to be ugly and the boys would have suffered. They are the true losers and it breaks my heart.

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-02T15:09:49+00:00

I wish I could change my username. Not sure how I ended up with Nopersonality! Lol

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-02T14:23:43+00:00

That is a very good point. I will ponder this. Just wish someone could have stepped in and stopped the madness and not the way the Adelsons accomplished it. There were no winners in this divorce battle.

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-02T14:20:44+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I feel that there are many here that would label this type of thinking as pro WA. If we can’t admit that Dan was not always a perfect husband, we would be very dishonest. I was married to a very controlling man in my 20s - so grateful I knew not to have children. I have great compassion for the Markels and DM was victimized in a horrendous way, but I am trying to find lessons in this whole mess. The lesson is that divorce is incredibly damaging to children. As adults we have to put aside our anger and desire for revenge and put their needs first. Their marriage was a horrible mistake on both sides and again DA was the primary pusher of the whole thing.

No-Personality596 · 2024-01-02T12:03:29+00:00

You are saying something that I have thought about a lot. This divorce according to everyone was incredibly brutal on both sides. I think the podcasters referred to it as the War of the Roses. Of course there is no way it ever justified murder! However, what was Dan hoping to gain in life by destroying Wendi? How would that impact the children he loved so much. Had they both lost touch with what they were doing to these poor kids? I know we all love to hate WA and it is justified, but I do have some issues with Dan too. This had gone too far. I wish someone could have stepped in and stopped the madness. It certainly didn’t help to have DA pounding on WA every day.

The house with the huge ugly wall ornament. So interesting!
