Updates on Mom and myself

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.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

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.

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:

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.

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