My Dad

[Carol Dee]

Dear @journey11 My heart is breaking for you. As others have said, if we lived close we would try to help out. Sorry Dad and Brother had another falling out. I sure hope your sister is able to hang in there and continue helping out. I do think being proactive on the gun thing is wise. I will continue to pray for your Dad and YOU. Come by and vent anytime.

Thank you, Carol Dee. I have been curling up with my shawl every evening. Unbelievable how much it replicates the comfort of an actual hug!

So far my dad has been good with my sister as well, although he has said some not-so-nice things about her husband, whom he has always gotten along with fine before. She gets aggravated at times, but I think she has the perspective to know it is not him being himself. She has a 10-month-old baby to care for, but other than working around that, I think she will be able to continue helping me.

I am so sorry for you! I know what is it. The worst thing is not these circumstances, and when running out of strength to deal with them. I'm sorry to see you upset and tired. I wish a lot of strength and stamina, help for you and hope.

I was so hoping to hear good news. I can't imagine going through what you are. All I can do is pray for you and your family. I so wished I could be there to help you.

Sometimes I like wish that I was financially well off so that I wouldn't have to work. Then I would go around the country helping friends like you. I would do all of your weeding and chores and take at least that burden off of you.

Another hug When people are frightened or angery they say alot of things they don't mean. I say all the time I want to kill my nephew, but it is only talk. Your father might have just been venting when he said he wanted to shoot your brother. I am sure my mother has said more then once " I brought you in to this world and I will take you out of it " to me

Fathers/sons have interesting relationships. Tell your brother to hang in there, take his rotation. They won't kill each other. They are making memories-things your brother will laugh about later. I know sounds impossible now.

Big hugs. You have a lot of hard decisions ahead of you. You are correct to keep yourself calm, if you go off the deep end, who will be left to make sure your Dad is cared for? You might have to take several mental steps back, so you can deal with all the heartbreak and stress.

Hum, I clicked hugs once and four popped up. I'm leaving every one. You certainly need all you can get. God bless!

Four hugs times four posts? I didn't do that either! Everyone is lovingly sent by me and WHOM ever is working my computer right now.
