(13,418 posts)a chicken and a goat in the back yard as opposed to my apartment neighbor who is a recovering alcoholic and ex-con, Ed. He's not so bad, but he never asks me a question. I'm just a pair of ears who is to nod and smile when all I want to do is scream.
I'm in redneck Ohio for only one reason...to take care of my 85 year-old mother.
It's a long, boring story that probably many boomer adults endure. Tortuous nursing homes, uncaring nurses, idiot doctors, and to top it off Fundamental Christian Republican relatives who have not once brought my mother a meal. And her precious church that she donates to...not even a store-bought pumpkin pie. If I'm not dealing with a hypocrite, it's an idiot.
At least the Police Captain seems to be a decent guy....he listens to how my next-door neighbor threatens to beat the living hell out of me. He wants to rid the world of me, so he says. Go ahead and try.
I never imagined that it would be like this...and no mary jane to take the edge off.
