Hi @Snowie, just checking in on you. Can you tell me what's going on for you today? ☺️💛

Sending you lots of tender hugs my sister ❤️ @Snowie
I know it is so hard
To remember it is her sickness, not mum
I also had to tell myself that mum was going to say something terrible, and when she did tell me it was not a surprise
And then at home I allowed myself to have a cry and told my husband
Xxxxxxxx

Hi @AuntGlow
Mum said sorry, but it makes no difference. She thinks just because she said sorry that everything will be ok. She can't take back what she said. The damage is done.
Spent most of the day hiding from her, from others, from myself.

Good to set boundaries too @Snowie
Not sure when you visit your mum but I used to go every 3rd day
Mum got used to that and she had it marked on her calendar

Thanks @Shaz51
I've cried lots of tears yesterday and today. Hubby just tells me to ignore it, but that's very hard to do.
I know it's not her, it's her illness. Yet she remembers what she says and said sorry thing morning. So she still knows what she is saying at the time.

@Shaz51 she still lives with us so there are no boundaries set up. It's a constant every day thing. No days off

This must be so tough for you @Snowie... I am glad she apologised, but the biggest apology is changed behaviour, isn't it? What could she do differently here? 💕

Ohh sorry sister @Snowie xxx
Did not realised xx
Yes my mum was home with us until she broke her hip and the doctor put her in hospital permanently
And I am not allowed to say what she weighed on here
