Long rant about my Mom, her condition and prognosis and her boyfriend.

12. Well if he's been like that

a long time, then maybe it's not dementia.

Maybe he has a mental illness.

You think "normal" people act that way?

As far as the rest of it goes, a couple of others in this thread had some wise things to say about their relationship...abusive or not.

She chose him.


And...we're only getting one side of the story here. Yours.

There are always...always...more sides to every story.

My "judgement", if you want to call it that, comes from a place that is disgusted when two people use a third person to carry on their little squabbles with each other.

I stopped talking to a sister who ignored my wishes not to get our dying father involved in a squabble we were having with each other, and went ahead and did it anyway. This was in early 2002. He didn't need that shit. He died about 8 months later with a heavy heart knowing that two of his children could not get along.

So yeah...I'm a big old meanie.
