[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 324501, member: 1722"] Thanks again. It's really good to know that I'm not alone in this. I want to make sure that I don't have any regrets and give Duckie a chance to say goodbye. Being eight years old she has the capacity to still love and miss her grandmother even though they've only seen each other sporadically. And I want to balance Duckie's need to know her grandmother with protecting Duckie from her. It's going to be a tough balancing act. My aunt called last night. She started pushing for me to go to mom's doctor appointments. I had to explain to her that while I agree someone should be there it shouldn't be me. My aunt is afraid is afraid that my mom will miss some crucial information because she doesn't hear when people are talking, but she doesn't hear me either. My brother, sister-in-law or one of her friends would be much better options. It would be pointless for me to go. My aunt isn't happy with me, I know, but I won't budge. It is what it is. My aunt has always tried to step in and save my mom. Mom can't be saved, she won't allow it. Never has and never will. So I might as well not make myself crazy. [/QUOTE]
