Sorry, I need to do this

[Rajah]

(that's the closest I could find to a "scream" smilie)

My mom just got yet another of those frequent bombshells related to this dropped on her, and I *happened* to call just a few minutes after she got that, and she started going off again.

I *was* doing well today, until I called her. Now part of me wants to shake her til her teeth rattles to knock some sense back into her and knock her out of her hysteria, part of me wants to gather her up and offer support, and part of me wants to knock her unconscious so she'll get some REST and stop worrying about this.

That **** woman seriously needs to go talk to *someone* professional, but she's so **** stubborn she just plain won't go. Of the two of us, she's *BY FAR* the one most in need of clinical help at the moment, and the most she'll do is take 1/2 of a mild tranq the doctor gave her a couple of weeks ago.

Nothing wrong with a little vent, Tammi. Nothing wrong with any of your posts, keep on posting them.

too bad she won't listen to you - she really needs to talk to someone besides you.

hang in there!

Thanks again, everyone. I feel better now. Not ready to call her again (well, she wouldn't be at home anyway... hmm, actually, maybe I *should* call her now and leave a message so she knows I'm thinking about her anyway...) but I'm feeling like I can make the rest of the day anyway again.

And MaryJo -- thanks. As usual, I felt a little guilty after posting this one.

Vent away Tammi, it'll feel good to get it out. You have no reason to feel guilty about anything so don't.

Rajah vent away I am still praying for you both, I remember when my dad passed my mom really went through emontial *ell rightly so as we lose a parent they lose their lover,friend and life partner its a whole new life for them to adjust to and add finances in the mix and that person that was always there through thick and thin is not there so they lean on us and we end up on some days feeling like pulling our hair out.

Tammi... do vent away when you need to. And don't feel guilty... we need to take care of ourselves as well.

Hope it improves for you, Tammi!

Vent away and remember that it is OK to do so. We are thinking of you and praying for you too.

No need to be sorry for venting. My father-in-law lives with us and I feel like I could scream A LOT! Screaming on the computer is much quieter though! It always helps to just get it out. Hope all goes well for you.

Hoping your day went better, Tammi.

Hey Tammi, I know how you feel, i lost my dad in a plane crash in April,nothing and i mean nothing has been the same since!!My mom is in such pain,as we all are,the shock was unbelievable and the events that have occured since then have been as shocking and painful as the first moments we found out.I got a card from a friend at Christmas,it said,"You will never get over this,but you will eventually get through it,".That card ,the people on the dis boards(nativetxn ,dan murphy,everyone helped me in ways ,with kind words through those first shocking months ,that litterally saved me)helped me ,"Get through it".I know i am going on and on ,but i know how you feel ,you can e-mail me anytime,i know what you are going through!

Screaming at your mom might help jar some sense into her too.
