I am going through a difficult time in my life. I keep my mother who has alheizhmiers and I have been alone single for a few years. I have a home and keep mom daily and try to work a little on the computer. I have a wonderful daughter who is a nurse and my sons girlfriend is also an RN and they allow me to get out once every 6 weeks. Well we had a bad week this week with mom getting worse and now getting abusive ; she made me cry all this weekend. I had to go outside for a few minutes to compose myself and keep her from seeing me upset and crying. I am very loving, kind and tenderhearted and it hurts me to see and hear all this. The doctor wanted me to put mom in a home a year ago, 6 months ago; and I could not. Now I am getting very tired of the abuse, the pain and hurt but I haven't the heart to do this. meantime my friend three hours away calls me several times a day to ask how I am and to check on us and as much as I would like for him to just put his arms around me and give me a hug; I am not close enough for that. None of moms family will come see her or have anything to do with her; because they don't understand. My family does. Let me tell you this too. She adopted me when my real mother died in a car crash when I was 5. She raised me and I called her mom and I have had her for 10 years now in my home looking after her...she is almost 79. To me she is my mom...I am all she has left, but I have Lupus and I'm a diabetic and I am getting very tired and my Lupus is back active now..I also have some other things I am dealing with too. Please pray for us and I will continue praying for all.
