My son blew me off for Mother's Day

[Freethinker65]

29. I wanted to FaceTime my Mom, so called to arrange a time with my sister where she is living.

Was told to try back on Monday because she used Mom's money to pay for overnight caretakers so she (my sister) could spend the weekend at her boyfriend's place.

I called the land line hoping a caretaker would answer, but ended up leaving a message. It's the best I could do. I also assume the Mother's Day card I sent is still sitting in the mailbox.

Not everyone had a great Mother's Day. I will try to call her again this evening after my sister gets home.

My Mom is 93 with dementia, has really bad short term memory, and can no longer care for herself. She does still recognize family and friends which is nice. I will be spending a few weeks with her at the end of the month. Luckily my Mom has savings to pay for care. My sister "provides" the house, and typically is around in the evening about the time my Mom goes to sleep.
