      How are you? I have scaled back my desires to protect my mom and started protecting myself more. It is working for me, hope the guilt does not catch up with me later! I hope you are ok.

      From phyllea May 15

      I know it is hard to keep your cool. I walk around silently saying "shut up!" most of the day, at times. You are definitely not by yourself. My Mom is so difficult to be around that I think I am stressed beyond, whick can't be good. We can't let them take us down with them. Phyllea

      From Snoopy220 April 29

      Morganfairy, I am sorry you have so much on your plate. I went home to get my Mother lunch and she spilled the entire BIG cup of hot tea on the floor. At least it missed her. I get very tired getting up early to do wash as even though she is in diapers she can still pee out of them when they are sopping wet as I get her in to bed. Her legs hace such atrophy it is hard to get diapers on and get her slacks on. Her home worker is to be there tomorrow and I am leaving notes all over the place to tell her to get her hair washed. So at least tomorrow I can run errands during lunch without going home. ~Snoopy220
