I feel like today is the first day that feels like normal and all my to-do's from before christmas are filtering up from the dust of holiday-NESS. I'm sorry you are still going through the passage of parenting parents but so glad Wes continues to be a bright spot and Buddha in the midst. Take care.

So much...
I...I can relate to so much here, Tracey. So much...<br />I well remember my mother's bedside cupboard drawer rattling with pill bottles when it was opened - regularly. Meds which eventually killed her - along with the alcohol :(<br />Many bottles had different doctor names on them. Was there no database alerting doctors/hospitals of patients' meds double ups? Is there any today? I don't know, because I personally steer clear of the buggers as much as I can - preferring to work with herbs.<br /><br />Yes, dear Tracey, I believe in signs. Spiritual verses which speak to the soul within - not empty words preached by rote from pulpits on high.<br />Take heart in words that come to you... especially those touched by rainbows :)<br /><br />Your beautiful girl, Wesley - that sweet "old soul" by your side, is a blessing. Such an awesome human being. She was meant to be your daughter.<br /><br />Some people go through their (I believe, many) lives learning lessons until they reach true peace/contentment. Perhaps those we see that seem so "together" and at peace with their lot in life are nearing their pursuit of peace and will no longer have lessons to learn. Others, like my mother, seem to be miserable with their lives and choose to dwell in a dark abyss, feeling sorry for themselves and cause destruction to themselves and their loved ones - and die sad, bitter, lonely and angry with the world. She, I feel, will have to return again to hopefully find her own nirvana.<br />Having witnessed her descent - and refusal for recuperation - I realised that there are some who refuse to rise above their self destruction.<br /><br />You ARE awesome, Tracey! Believe it :)<br />xxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-76360904024467721452015-01-08T07:53:05.095-08:002015-01-08T07:53:05.095-08:00Its fight or flight, Michele.

I just sent you an email asking- here is my answer. Glad Wes was with you. We are lucky you and I with our strong girls.<br /><br />Not giving your mom an excuse but do remember that a lot of her bad behavior stems from the cocktails of drugs she takes. My Mom was on steroids over 40 years. No wonder she went "off the road". But some of your Mom's behavior has always been there and as I age I realize the folks who behave like that have a narcissistic personality disorder and from what I read, no therapy, intervention or degree of care and love will alter it. They are incapable of change and have no sense of self reflection or knowing themselves..and they are to be pitied because they have never understood love, compassion or realized any real peace. Inside they are miserable with fake fronts shown to the outside world.<br /><br />But lack of a Mom's love still stings no matter our age....Loving my kids has healed me.<br /><br /><br /> <br />oldgreymareprimitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070774314265663535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-45731544783512792292015-01-07T17:58:19.634-08:002015-01-07T17:58:19.634-08:00Thanks for the St.Francis poem in full - wow, it&#...Thanks for the St.Francis poem in full - wow, it's all there, isn't it?<br />How wonderful to see your child's hands holding, using her father's camera. She is a lovely one, your Wesley - glad she was with you.<br />The pill thing - oh it's such a landmine! Been there with my mom, aunt too. Bad business if not used intelligently. With discretion. Or at all.<br />Want to give you a quote I like from Ram Doss - and this may be a paraphrase - "Ultimately we're all just walking each other home."<br />And so we are.<br />Sorry to be so long-winded!<br />Mary littlemancathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042609230502564280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-42486659306004704762015-01-07T17:17:37.523-08:002015-01-07T17:17:37.523-08:00Hi Lori, this parent health thing..... ugh.

There are just too many unnecessary pills being given out without informed decisions. I hope your mom will be ok.

We need balance. Thankfully she goes to an independent, local pharmacy where they help her make informed choices on what medication she buys rather than just filling every expensive prescription Her doctor rights.<br />Happiness comes from within, your mom will only find it there when she's ready.<br />Peace to you.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.com
