It sounds like you and your brothers are upstanding citizens and have learned something from her even if it is "not" to do what she has done. <br /><br />xoxoAs Cape Cod Turnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047430228350114744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-66975570822770354412013-10-30T20:37:34.166-05:002013-10-30T20:37:34.166-05:00The only thing I know for sure is that the older m...The only thing I know for sure is that the older my mom gets, the more she pushes away from us when we talk about what's good for her and her well-being.<br /><br />It's incredibly frustrating that all of our concern is shut down, I get hung up on, it's all considered nagging. <br /><br />Nowadays I just tell her I love her and let it go. She's a grown up, making grown up decisions and I just have to respect that. It saddens me to watch, but I just have to love her.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Colleen - you should write more :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-65236333242615079782013-10-30T19:51:33.527-05:002013-10-30T19:51:33.527-05:00You're a good daughter, and your brothers are ...You're a good daughter, and your brothers are good sons. Unfortunately none of that can change the way your mom thinks and acts, especially at this point. I wish it could!<br /><br />I'm keeping everything crossed that she's going to be okay. And I'm sending love across the border to you! (and it's stopping at the Mars Cheese Castle to pick up some cheddar curds for you.) xoxoMelisa Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621280160557354493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-49876124705104417592013-10-30T18:54:28.448-05:002013-10-30T18:54:28.448-05:00I think we need a mother's club.

I hope VERY HARD that she will be safe.Momo Falihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735425888226178189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-60676118223132012652013-10-30T17:47:47.481-05:002013-10-30T17:47:47.481-05:00I wish we could get together and discuss our mothe...I wish we could get together and discuss our mothers. You'd know that even though the circumstances differ somewhat you are not nearly as alone as you feel. It really sucks being the kid and being the wiser one, it never stops being a shock. <br /><br />All you can do is love her though. That's the most and best you can do.piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523794107099751374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-86037236376033639082013-10-30T17:45:30.086-05:002013-10-30T17:45:30.086-05:00I wish I had some profound words of wisdom.

I'm so sorry, it's hard to watch someone you love in a difficult situation. Tara R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02993625193184914299noreply@blogger.com
