unclejimboWell, I tried to leave some entries using my wireless Palm Pilot (Yes, looking at web sites in the car is way cool...) but there were some conflicts... So I'll just leave my stuff here...
Very concerned about my mother. She's been dealing with PTSD issues for the last 7-8 years and then my grandmother passed away this November. Well, she's depressed and isolated and hurting...
And now my brothers and aunt want to get more aggressive... And they only now decide to bring me in on things... Their even talking about hospitalizing her against her will.
And I'm the bad guy for bringing her up to speed on what I found out... Grrr... I've dealt with depression and all that goes with it myself... AS the patient... I would think that they would want my input on how to proceed... But it seems my input is not wanted. ("Just nod when we tell you and shut up...")
WTF? This is my mom too... And I'm going to be part of this, even if it means I fly back east periodically to check on things personally.
Families... These are the people who can drive you crazy the fastest... More later as things develop.

Family
Yes I came from a large family.
But I was raised almost like an only child.
So the feeling of family is sometimes more of inconvenience than the tie that binds.
I have buried both my parents and tons of friends and family.
I have my daughters and my wife and her son,
that is the sole extent of the 'family' I choose to involve myself with.
For you my friend I wish you find patience and strength for these trying times.
And I hope your mother's condition improves, I know a bit about PTSD myself.
The Great and Powerful Oz :P
