All Lies....
Jul. 31st, 2007 07:58 amI guess I really already Knew it when we moved back here and we found out that we were going to be living a couple of blocks from the folks but part of me Hoped that when they really needed me that I'd be there for them. Well, I was wrong.
It was the reason I allowed me to move to this bass-akward bit of the christian nation...that Mom & Dad needed me since CHris worked all over the country and his wife had other priorities. Yesterday I found out for certain it was all a Lie. My SIL will be taking care of them,...not me. The reason? Last time she didn't get her way she wouldn't talk to my folks for 2 yrs and it made my brother's life "Uncomfortable". They would rather endanger their lives being taken care of by someone with a Philosophy degree who seldom lifts anything heavier than her purse over someone with a decade and a half of ICU experience who can still carry those big sacks of compost and Manure from the feed store...simply because if she doesn't get her way, she'll sulk.
I've spent the last couple of yrs helping them keep their Independance from a woman that's been(when her husband's out of town)trying to get them off into some Extended Living home and uses ANY comment as a weapon. They've made their choice. From now on, when they complain about something she's done, I'll tell them that I'm not Interested. That's their and Sandi's "bidness". At least now I won't have to be treated like a retarded 6 yr old by a woman whose medical "knowlege" comes from her Physchic "abilities"...like telling the family of the man in the other CICU bed who had not regained conciousness after a day that they'd "overworked him and that he was just enjoying some "me" time"....
