In our case, I wouldn't say ...Gosh, that's so sad. <BR/><BR/>In our case, I wouldn't say she is universally scorned, but we're just not close. There's no bond there and our visits are always a chore done out of obligation. <BR/><BR/>She's done a lot of crazy sh*t over the years and most of it wasn't entirely her fault, but doesn't matter cause we had to endure it and it wasn't fun. I could blog for weeks on some of the crazy stuff she's done. <BR/><BR/>Remember when you wrote about that crazy mom who threw her kids off the pier and I told you I had a personal story I could share? It would have been about my mom. She's the looney one. <BR/><BR/>She's been a paranoid schizoprenic since I was about 10-? She's fine now because she's medicated in the nursing home, but damn if she hasn't made our lives a living hell in the past. <BR/><BR/>By just looking at her though you wouldn't believe she belongs in a nursing home; she totally ambulatory, acts sane, the whole bit. Her biggest problem was the noncompliance with meds. <BR/><BR/>Right before we had her admitted she totally stopped eating and drinking anything, even water. I hadn't seen her in about six months b/c she lived in Corpus Christi and I lived in Houston (3-1/2 hours away) but when I did see her I was totally shocked at her appearance. She'd lost a bunch of weight, hadn't showered in who knows how long, and rambled on about people trying to poison her, etc. My aunt was looking out for her but she didn't even trust her and half the time wouldn't open the front door for her. <BR/><BR/>If you're interested, I blogged about it in January. I'd leave the link, but don't know how to, but you can find it as my January 8th entry. I had written about Andrea Yates, the woman who drowned her kids. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry your husband had to go through that, but I do find some comfort in knowing I'm not the only one who had it rough.Freebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964944512089608136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-1134413318441863702005-12-12T10:48:00.000-08:002005-12-12T10:48:00.000-08:00That's a touching story.That's a touching story.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.com
