Thanks Carole and John for your posts! Carole, my Mother would want me to close up my house and move in with her so she could have control, or that’s what she thinks. Anyways, I am going to have dinner with my Sister tomorrow night and talk to her about Mom. I think that sometimes she wants attention and she makes things bigger than they really are. It is like dealing with a young child sometimes. I don’t think that I could live with her. I have caught her lying and I don’t know if she is faking anything but with her who knows? John, I am like many others here. We all have issues and challenges. It is a lot easier to deal with them when I am not gambling. Like today, I took my car in to be serviced, oil change and tire rotation. The dealership recommended that I get new tires soon. I do a lot of driving (distance between city and small town where I live). It was something that I had to do so I went to a local tire shop and bought new tires and had a alignment done. I was happy that I wasn’t gambling and had the money to cover the costs. I had breakfast and visited with a old friend. She is awesome and really helped me emotionally when my Husband was sick and when he died. Being able to see her was one of the highlights of my day. The other one was when I picked my Grandson up from karate camp. We had dinner together and talked about his day at school. It’s the little things that make me happy!
