[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 378269, member: 3419"] ROFL! All right, I'll find something ... In regard to I got P to therapy, it was HER idea. She is a former actress and dancer, and it is tres chic to have a therapist, my dear. Lucky me. My goal with-the therapist was to talk P into staying here forever. If she moves back to NY, it's over. I cannot maintain any level of care long distance. Everything we've done would be down the tubes. Her goal with-the therapist was to talk about the death of her husband, her broken tailbone and broken hip, and the man hin the white hat who pushed her down and broke her tailbone. (He doesn't exist. She fell on her own.) So, the therapist has been trying to get P to understand that she's not getting any younger and that to plan for old age doesn't mean you curl up and die. It just means you change your financial plans, make sure you have great health ins., and use a walker, as well as a caregiver. Many other things can stay the same. In fact, with-all those things in place, you won't have to be alone and that will alleviate much of the depression. So, I'm working on drawings ... (thank you all for the distraction; difficult child was home sick again today and only got 1/2 his dose of Imiprimene and he was so awful I am ready to buy a gun. I needed this distraction. Wait, I already said that ...) [/QUOTE]
