Marcie Mac
Just Plain Ole Tired
She lives in an assisted living home now in Ohio near my Aunt and Cousin - she moved there from SC after my brother died.
She has pretty much been in a depressed state since January and isn't liking the home, and feels all alone, even though they come to see her a couple of times during the week. Everytime I talk to her she cries, shes all alone..sigh.
Am trying to weigh the pros and cons because of course, I feel gulty (and dang Fran with the comment of taking the high road she once made years ago when she was dealing with her father has attached itself to the inside of my head).
I haven't made any committments due to my job situation - If I get to keep it come the end of August when my lease is up, will be working out of the house. If not, I had plans to sell the house and maybe move to Arizona (well that was before the housing market hit the skids). She 87, not in the best of health. Shes never seen her great grands or the boys who were like 12 and 13 last time she saw them. And time has a way of passing before you know it. With my job and working solo, its really hard for me to get away, but I do have the flexability of taking some time off during the day to get things I need to done and make up for it later that day.
I don't know. If anything, I would bring her out to spend a few weeks BEFORE any thing was agreed on. Or I could find an assisted living place here.
SO is no help in sorting what to do out - he is worried about his own mother = if SHE got ill, he was going to bring her out here (but I only have one spare bedroom left thank god unless one of the boys moves out (yeah right)
Am I crazy for even thinking about visiting this issue??
Decisios,decisions..
