Anyway, I don't tell her the truth about Dad unless I absolutely have run out of distractions and can't keep her in her chair. It just breaks my heart...for her.... they were married 60 years last September. Because of her mental illness, she has always been dependent on him. He was a good man, he took care of her and stuck with her.

my mom's memory (mental clarity) has been slipping every day.

for the last three days she has insisted that we go and see dad (he passed away 2 months ago).

she wants to bring him his shoes or something (can't tell).

My mom's memory (mental clarity) has been slipping every day. For the last three days she has insisted that we go and see dad (he passed away 2 months ago). She wants to bring him his shoes or something (can't tell).

So, I sit in front of her and gently tell her that Dad is gone. She looks at me in shock, and then the tears start, sobs....I hold her....more sobs.....

Three days now, I don't know how much more I can take.

Mouthy is a courageous fun-loving sweetheart, loved by all, who is full of spunk and has more kindness and forgiveness in her little pinky finger than most people have in their whole bodies.

to add she possess depth and insight, and don't leave out bossy.

Looking for a job would make me feel like a loser too. I hope you get the one you want.

I couldn't put you in one sentence either.

If you could have your family back..... (Are JWs toxic to you?)

would it be worth even being around jws from time to time?

i guess what i'm asking is this:.

is the whole jw outlook somewhat toxic to you?

wings

I would gladly put up the the crap as long as I didn't have to participate in it.

It would be nice to be loved even though I am not a JW anymore. Ain't gonna happen. It is part of the crap. Vicious circle.
