I have some serious apologizing to do...I am both humbled and frankly--ashamed, of my response to a caretaker whom is going through a rough patch with her Mother, whom she loves so deeply. I have no excuse for my behavior...why a nice person like me can be so caustic at times, I'll search to discover.
I am very stressed. I am in the midst of a Divorce. I care for my 90 yr old Mother 24 hours a day, and have not had one minutes relief for nearly 2 years now. We are not wealthy, to say the least, I am driven to NOT admit my Mother into a Nursing Home, having seen the deterioration of her sisters, and my own sister in those places. I guess my pride is my downfall. I know I will go to that wonderful womans wall and apologize for my behavior, and hope I can realize that here, on this site are those beings whom share similar circumstances, and whose hearts are full of compassion.
Thank you, all of you who wrote in response to my comments regarding Karen and her problem, and used no-uncertain terms to help me realize my folly, yet show patience and compassion while doing so.
Truly, I pray that I will learn to be as compassionate as the rest of you seem to be, to you and to others.
Please forgive me.
