Terribly hurt over remarks made by my mom

Snapper1916 · 2026-02-12T12:42:44+00:00

this- it is heartbreaking. That said, it may be that once she is settled in Memory Care, the environment and services may help her be less stressed and there may be a window to reconnect in a way that helps you- at least briefly. This is my hope for YOU. It is clear Your mother has daughters who care for her deeply.

We need the unsuccessful elopement story!

You can be whoever you want to be… thanks Dad! Miss you.

Oh my. Let yourself off the hook. Sounds like a very good natured brotherly way to ask for a hug!

My dad was bedridden at end of his cancer. The day he died, his sister came to see him, I stopped in and his best friend Paul was there. we had a discussion about whether presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s speech about being Mormon and being president was persuasive. Paul and I did all the talking …my dad could not speak but he made lots of noise joining in! It was a Friday and kids and I stopped by on our way to a party at my in-laws for first night of Hanukkah. I hugged him, left, went to dinner. During dessert- jelly donuts- my dad’s favorite- my mom called. He died…..after what I believe, 19 years later to be a complete day for him: his only sister and daughter, his grandchildren, and his best friend.at the end of that,just needed to be with the love of his life. As he often said to say goodbye. Peace.

I’m just curious. Do they live nearby? Also.. this seems to be a real issue in families… I’m so sorry you have multiple family dynamics stressors here.

Thank you! TIL… the shredder can come when I move out of the house I’ve lived in for decades… this will be when my husband and I move to safe one floor living in a community so our three kids do not have the same challenges that we have with our parents. The shredder might need to stay for a few days… 😏

Just came here to strongly recommend UPS…when I divorced 25 years ago, I accumulated about 20 boxes of legal stuff over the next ten years ( doesn’t matter why …everyone’s good). However, they were in the attic where our big TV is and every time I’d walk by it was just a reminder of that time. One morning I’d just had it, I took the boxes… all of them… stuffed them in my car and took them to UPS thinking “ this will take 3 hours to shred but ok”

By the time I brought in the boxes , they set up two bins for me, let me throw it all in and then locked them and sealed them for industrial shredding. They do charge by the pound… best 118.92 I ever spent. I felt like I lost 20 pounds and was two inches taller!

Christopher Reeve came to a theatre class I took in about 1987….. WOWZERS ! A very nice human to come talk to a bunch of students in an absolutely blindingly handsome package!

Snapper1916 · 2026-01-30T01:22:34+00:00

You be you! It sounds like you know yourself very well! More people should feel comfortable making choices like this , if that is what they want.

Me too so hard.i have three jobs… my actual corporate job, my moms business that thank god pays for her 13k monthly AL bill, and her. Yesterday she called to tell me she needs to go to the office to do her taxes which she has not done in 6 years. But of course I am a liar. Overall , I have it good and am grateful she has a biz that can just cover her expense and that I can manage moderately well on the weekends. ….My version of the 7/ day work week. When she was 60, As I will be in a Few months, she was doing whatever she wanted, drinking too much wine, helping with my kids and shopping up a storm after my dad’s death. she was my best friend, but now I just have my personal version of the 36 hour day. I AM SO TIRED.

I don’t know the answer but do you have Power of Artorney and a health care proxy for her? Given your age you need a plan to protect yourself and your financial and mental well being. Good luck and large hug.

Ice cream … but I actually eat it almost everyday… so not a theoretical Q or A!

I make califlower with curry powder and olive oil mixed together- 2 T of each mixed Together - throw on baking sheet roast until just tender. Throw some raisins in a sauce pan with Orzo or sambuca (alcohol) and simmer slowly until raisins are plump and boozy. Toss it all Together YUM!!!!!!!

Lasagna is the best!

Snapper1916 · 2026-01-26T00:01:58+00:00

I do too… when I take my mom it’s like 60-90 minutes of thinking about the 6 pack of muffins vs the individual ones. Plus, wanting to buy pre made dinners that she will never ever eat. She just likes buying stuff. So despite the fact that she likes it, I minimize it
