I am done with bullshit. Why?
My mother-in-law died in April. She was sick. In 1995 she was given 6 months to live. Its been a nail-biter since then.
In May - right after my birthday - a good friend of mine hung himself. I found this out because another friend walked int his apartment and found him. Dead and hanging.
Later in May, my estranged niece was murdered n Bancroft. I hadn't seen her in years, but I have some great memories from when she was a kid.
My mother died in June. She did not leave a will, or have any insurance. I spent three years caring fr her, taking her to doctor's appointments, taking her to therapy, calling 911 on a regular basis. I'm left to deal with her mountain of debt, and left to care for my severely handicapped sister. What? I'm supposed to put my sister in a home? That's not going to happen. She'd die there.
I could live without the $183,000 debt, though. Thanks, mom! (I did try to get her finances in order. I couldn't force her - or get power of attorney).
My aunt just told me that my grabdfather's second wife finally succomed that's been eating away at her for years. Even though she wasn't my biological grandmother, she was good woman.
So, if you whine about something, forgive me for not giving a fuck.

Garce - I know we go back-and-forth on my not updating my AP since April so let's put that aside for 3 seconds here:
I'm very close to my mother. I am very, very sorry for your loss in June (and for all the other losses and death that seems to surround you, for whatever reason, this year). My sister is also severely handicapped. As in: doesn't speak, wears diapers, needs assistance in everything. She's 50 years old. I am her Gaurdian. I would never, ever put her in a home once my mom is gone. So I feel for you.
Bash me any fucking time you want brother. Hang in there, it gets better, declare bankrupcy if it helps you get your mom's debt off your back. It gets better but don't fogret to give yourself permission to feel whatever fucked up things come up. It's all part of the process of cleansing grief.
Resume hating me now.
