Mother, it's so hard
to let you go. You
know you have had a
profound effect on
me. What can I say
or do today that will
soothe me? You knew
the truth but could
never face it.

You covered yourself
in lies and could not
find a way to open
your eyes and deal
with your madness.
"Crazy" you are,
"insane" you are not.

You grieve your deep
sorrow but never find
relief because the
pain does not cease
when you won't go
inside or try to see
your own life as it is.

Well, it is as it is.
It is what it is.
May you find release
one day. May you find
peace one day, I pray.
Yes, I pray.

You have always been
Loved.

Sometimes, we cannot help others find freedom from bonds they chose for themselves; we can only release them to be free - or not.

Excellent, as ever.

Zanne, I'm very sorry for your sadness as well; I know Alzheimer's Disease is a very painful way to lose a parent, particularly since in happens in stages. You and your family are in my prayers :heart:

It's funny, but no matter how old our parents get, we never seem to stop needing them....oh, the type of needs change, but the bond does not, whatever the circumstances.

Idon't know what is worse..to watch physical or mental deteriation...

with my background..I believe I could handle and care for her with physical..and with that it's clear cut..

Mentally with alll the jumping around..of seemingly normal days to horrible days is very difficult...

The hardest part is I am at my weakest time of my life...so foreign to me....I am trying to keep from drowning myself...being a marine mom...I don't like it....sigh...

but my mom and I can be having a wonderful conversation..then it changes..then it goes to her saying one minute..I am the only one with the problem of her memory loss...then it goes to her upset and fears of my son going to Iraq...then the fight begins...the things said to me are so hurtful..yet I understand her possition.....and mind....but..

regardless it's so hurtful...I remind her that I understand...but she is grandmom.....I am MOM....he is my SON...
she doesn't have the ability to put herself second.....

in her life time she won't remember things...BUT..I will....had a phone call so now i lost my thoughts..lol

Pawpers have been siged at her doctors so we have the authority tonspeak with him.I will be making an appointment to let him know as she won't tell him what is happening.She doesstill know at this time...

thank u for listening and understanding.....Angel...:heart: flowerforyou

:heart: A very nice poem Angel and felt..

Many a parent here as everywhere has other old age fighting their presents or self abusives that they cannot stop doing..BUT that parent is who and why WE were even born. So in THAT we grow and feel their sufferings no-matter, their reasons.

My dad was an abusive drunk,,no feelings for anyone not even himself..But when he about died he tried to be human,it was to late for all his children to EVER forgive him so he passed that away. And never to say I love you to a soul..AND we all NEVER felt that nor heard that from him.. I have never lost any sleep with knowing he did have his own type of love for us all at his last 5 years of living..But that ability to not say I LOVE YOU
in him,,,MADE ME raise mine saying it ALWAYS,lol,,so through his bad as a parent he taught me never to abuse, or be a drunk, or not to tell another how you feel...

When a group of words opens a heart and mind, then it should be seen as a one-of-a-kind.........lol:heart:
