[QUOTE="Bean, post: 338968, member: 8620"] Well, that was basically it. We saw and recognized the spiral and didn't feel it was the best thing to sit back and watch in awe and amazement (well, we did that for a hot minute and then finally said, "OK it's time.") Witzend, it took them a couple months to wise up. About 4 weeks ago, when things were painfully [I]obviously [/I]deteriorating mom started to contact her PO, sending emails (it took a lot of coaching to get my mom to do this -- dad wouldn't). His response was basically no response for a long time. I kept quiet during that time because he seemed to almost have an ODD response to me when I'd contact him (?!). So I made contact after sitting on an inflamed email for 2 weeks. My mom is very comfortable with where she is at right now, but I don't think she was comfortable with the idea 8 weeks ago. I think she "understands" now. Star, that has been my stance for a while now. Somebody's got to love you enough to be the parent, and that's how it has manifested for me. I don't know if her last spiral has been a cry for help, or for someone to take the power away from her, but it kind of seemed like it. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
