Even a tiny whine is better than none at all...
Teach, sounds like you've got your hands full lately. Please take good care of yourself in these trying times.
Toronto and Fandy, it's that 'not-all-there'-ness that gets me the most. She's never been very secure in herself and has always been a fearful person, but it's so much worse now and this person is 'not' the person my mom used to be. It's awful watching her slip further away, and denying it the whole time, which makes me think that deep down in her gut she
knows something is happening to her... and is afraid of it, afraid of the loss of control and abilities. The
only good thing in all this mess is that I've been able to stay sober. Before I would have been numb the whole time and of no help. At least
I'm in my 'right mind' to deal with this... Before I would have been trying to forget, now I'm trying to remember...
