[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 411625, member: 3419"] Well, as we can all see, this life event has human interest written all over it for everyone. ;) I spoke to P today on the ph (if I can't get by there in person, I call). She started all over again with-the apt thing, saying she needed somewhere to go when she was good enough to go back there. OMG, I thought, she cannot, simply cannot live alone. And she cannot afford the level of care she needs. Some of this is dementia. Some of it is denial. Some of it is just plain B.X. I wanted to scream and throw the phone but I didn't want to rearend the car in front of me. I phoned three of P's best friends this wk. They all understood and agreed with-me. When I spoke to P, she indicated that at least one had brought up the subject of the tenant not paying and how the $ would help to keep the apt open. Hey folks, a day late and a dollar short. I know P, and she seized on that and is now working on making sure that the renter has a job. Right. And P can't even remember what day it is or if she's had lunch. Frankly, it's GOOD that I have difficult child, because it forces me to focus on what is necessary. If it weren't for him and other issues in my life, I could very well still be dancing around the issue until I am locked up for good. Wish me luck in counseling tomorrow. My little sister summed it up beautifully in a text msg: P's therapist needs a therapist. :) [/QUOTE]
