I feel good one day and the next, well depressed, blah whatever creeps back in! So, it is a crap shoot,,,,how long will the money last, well I do know that if we stick to a budget (she still has been able to go into the bank right next to where she lives and take out money, $1000.00 in the last two weeks, it is in her purse) how long will my mom last? Will the money hold out? This is depressing. I am trying to get away for a few days, regroup in my head and looking forward to it. I do have guilt for leaving, I have it all worked out to be in constant contact (is that a break?) We are so feeling the same feelings and I am glad I can vent, discuss here in this forum. I am so grateful for this as I have yet to find a "support group" Hi my name is Laurie and I have a demented mother....hi laurie............
Hang in there fellow depressed beings. We are doing this and take some time for yourselves, I know this is importatnt!
