I am back from my overnight trip. It was awesome to see my friend. I have invited her and her Grandson up for a weekend. I picked my Mother up on Monday morning and we went to the gym. She was very cold and distant but that is better than the anger, and screaming. My Sister called me last night and we had a lengthy conversation. She is going through her own issues right now, mainly with her youngest son who has retired from the service with full disability benefits due to a brain and shoulder injury from the war. I really feel for her but she sounds like she is handling everything in a healthy and positive way. She told me that she feels bad that she can’t be here more often but she works full time. She said she didn’t know if she could deal with Mom’s anger issues on a regular basis. It was good to have her support and knowledge of the situation. I am going to relax the rest of the day. Tomorrow, back to the gym.
