Fight with sister huh? Sounds familiar. Does sis have Fibro? Probably not since she eats 120 perks a month and you are "the addict". Anyone ever been to a twelve step meeting. There's a step there; forth, I believe, that goes like 'made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves," something like that; so my Mom tells me she has done this; I say great. She says "do you want to read it?" I said,"it's personal isn't it?" "Oh no, go ahead and read it. "Well folks it was all about
me. My name was in every second sentence. The searching and fearless moral inventory was her taking my inventory. Then it got passed around the family, and I am "it", big time, ever since. With Ma, who believe you, me ain't no angel, by sis, who smokes ---, well we'll leave that out. Even by my brother whom i enjoyed an excellent relationship with until these past three years I've been handling my Dad's care and business, and stepmom's care and business. He is conveniently ensconced a safe 1500 miles away and far to busy to visit. Now let me tell you about
my friends. These are the online people who listen to me whine and complain almost daily, and always respond upbeat and positive, on my side of the equation. Also, a retired minister whom I suspected reached into his own pocket and took out a thousand dollars to "buy"all the furniture, appliances and everything else in the rotten mouldy, falling down farmhouse. He didn't "buy" these things personally, he called around the community and found folk who needed various items, and gave them the cash to "buy" these things while I was struggling to care for my Dad with Alzheimers and a brain tumour, plus his wife with end stage Kidney Failure. He did it this way to avoid me losing face, so to say. Also, a neighbor and his wife who despite horrendous health problems of their own helped me in so many ways, If I listed them it would take a small novel. This is my family, now.
