Just to let you all know that there has been little or no change in Mom's condition: the stroke she suffered was debilitating and she has constant care - thank God for my medical aid which at least pays for her meds and I take care of the rest, including her care.
As for me, well, I am struggling through and trying to take each day as it comes but I honestly I feel like I've aged thirty years in the last few months. The strain on me shows and the meds I have to take - anti-depressants, high BP meds and calming meds - do help but they cannot remove the horror of the last eight months.
I am at least still employed - I shudder to think what would have happened if I had resigned last year after being passed over for promotion and it would have been no funds and no medical aid - and my work keeps me going, as does this place.
Before I forget, I have deactivated my FB account: family members are targeting me once again, despite the fact that I am honestly trying my best to be a good son and to help Mom: FFS, I even sold my car to help her.
Sending you all good wishes.
I'm sorry family members are targeting you, Trevor. I don't really know what to say. These things are always unimaginable, & stressful beyond compare.

Thanks, Paccie: I have mostly good family members and my landlords have surprisingly been very supportive, as have my work colleagues but I have some people in my life who feel I have abandoned Mom which is not the case and will never be. I have even heard from my Dad's foster brother in England: I have never met the man before.
Man, I don't know what to say except your a brother.
I been threw this kind of s**t, my friend. I love you and wish you well.

Thanks Brother Ronny. I haven't ever gotten over losing Dad but that horrible event was mercifully quick and he didn't suffer but this :bluesad:
You are right to seek every day. Blessed you are. Be well. :smile:
I'm sorry Trevor :bluesad:

Thanks Bob: I hope your Dad is doing well.
So sorry to hear family members are behaving so badly and causing you such distress. People baffle me.
Hugs to you Trevor. You are a great heart and a good son. Wish I could do more. I am very glad you have the BMdO bunch here for you.
You will always have a home here, but I will miss you on FB!
Sorry to hear that Trev. You have us for support.

Thanks, Indy: I just deactivated it so I might be back at some point, just not now.
