My husband got me a pair of slippers because I am always stealing his. LOL He also got me a $100 gift card to Victoria's Secret, Ooh La La. Do you think that was for me or for him? LOL
Lilya, I am also sorry to hear about your father. Alzhiemers is very diffiucult for the loved ones of the person suffering from it becuase of the extremes in behavior, and wathcing the person slowly deteriorate. For several months I provided respite care for a man who's wife was suffereing from it. Although she was never violent, she was terribly confused most of the time. Even though I was there several days a week, she could never remember who I was and would get quite fearful at times when I would be taking her out becuase she couldn't remember what was going on or why she was out with me.
Tammie, does you mother suffer from agoraphobia, or was she feeling to ill to come out. It's so hard to wathc our children be dissapointed that way. It just breaks our hearts. However, it's so good that now that we are sober we can there for our children in so many more ways than when we were using. I know you are a wonderful and loving mother.
Even though along with the joys of the holidays we still had some pain or suffering, I truly believe that without the suffering we couldn't fully appreciate the joys in life, if that makes any sense.
