Donna,
Thanks for your advice, and for the compliment-my Jackie is a piece of work!
I haven't given up on Mom; part of me is frustrated, the other part scared. I know quitting smoking is difficult, I know it used to help curb her appetite, but c'mon!! Really? Smoking??ugh...
I will never give up on her, just scared I guess. Tonight when she and dad came in she didn't even stop to talk to me. I guess she is ashamed. I purposedly did not comment much on the situation, needed time. I can't imagine how much it must hurt mentally to light up after 2 yrs, to need that smoke so badly.
Well, I am exhausted. Thanks for being here for me-as always!! Need sleep
