What on earth?

This week is unlike any other I have ever experienced.

Mom got angry that I stood up to her when she was verbally mean and insulting to me. I thought we had the entire thing hashed out and that it was over. Boy was I wrong.

She's checked herself out of the nursing home against medical advice. She has constructed a version of our argument on Sunday night that never happened. Never in a million years would it have happened the way she is saying it did. So, now she and Dad are at home, on their own. I don't know if mom is driving or not.

I've talked to my counselor and to one of the ministers at my church about the whole thing. I feel a peace about my decisions that I've made this week. I just wanted mom where she was safe and looked after.

However, I feel very sad that my mom has constructed this elaborate argument with false accusations against me. I feel even worse knowing that she's the type that will never, ever apologize. She behaved like a two year old; took her ball and went home. I'm sad that she's that way. And given her age, she's not likely to change.

Deborah, I am so sad about this situation. I will call your mom this week to see how she is doing. Prayers for you and your mom, my dear. You should not have to bear this burden alone!
