Some of these stories are making me look like a saint!

I'm so sorry for all the pain and upset that each of you have gone through and sounds like it may continue on. I don't understand children, especially adult ones who are so self centered and appear to think that they are entitled to act however they please. I can't imagine turning my back on someone in need. They need to grow up and stop thinking of only themselves. The pain from the disease is probably less than their heart that is being broken from total and absolute disrespect of a parent. I imagine that there is no way to fill the void of the person who is not willing to be there for their loved one. As a CG to my mom, taking her to numerous appts at the CCC, I saw many people alone, exhausted and frightened...I tried to reach out and it was just so amazing how a small touch on the hand can help someone. It makes me angry and I feel such resentment towards some of these people who are so careless with other peoples feelings.

Christina, I've been hibernating for a while and missed some posts, where did you move to? Are you any closer to me? If so, let me know how I can help you.

Hope everyone has a nice evening.
Donna
