I am about to head out the door and head east to have dinner with a BIL and his family so I will not be able to respond tonight.<BR> <BR>I just feel so low today. I tried yard work. I was invited after having a few conversations with the BIL's wife about the progress of my MIL's recovery. (Mil is still using the walker but may get to be on her own by Friday.) The details of her return are still being worked out. <P>Her DIL told me that my w came up last week (this I knew) but was not alone. OUCH. Then left after 30 or 40 minutes. After driving up for two and a half hours at that.<P>What is that woman up to? Anything is welcome. <P>Still nothing has been filed; not yet talking about it again, even. The family is put out by her lack of assistance with the recovery process with her mother. It would help THEM to understand what she is doing, I hear all their anger. I try to let them see I still care for their sister but communication in this family is lacking.<P>I do not know what I am looking for here aside from miracles.<BR>Later,<BR>RRunRR<BR>

rrunrr,<P>Pray for miracles...<BR>...then work on yourself<BR>...make yourself better<BR>...learn to be happy/satisfied with yourself... <P> <P>Jim

It is so hard to even go through the ADL when the WS is consumed and without a working conscience.<P>It is so apparent in my H that our D's counselor ( D is 11) can even say that my H is completely walled off, and this is to an 11 year old that he is biologically related to and was close to until NOV. 99!!!!!<P>So you can see this is truly an abberation. They are not themselves. <P>But, believe in miricles...I do.<P>My 11 y.o. said to me recently...you have to hope...you(meaning me) told us we had to have hope!!!!

Jim<BR> Thanks, I have been changing like I didn't know I could. Not that I have not needed to change, just afraid to try.<P>tootrusting<P>Thanks, that helped more than you may have known. <P> Mil will spend the day in her house but return to her son's house. We are hoping she will be back for good on Friday. She has a slew of neighbors who will probably help out.<P>RrunRR
