[quote=Anonymous]Re: the PP who mentioned lots of friends and former neighbors visiting and not as many adult DC. There’s never a long backstory with the neighbors/later in life friends! Let them see my mom as how they know her - the sweet little old church lady in cute outfits.

I know my widowed mom as the supreme narcissist married over 50 years to my highly successful, equally high functioning alcoholic, chain smoking, verbally and physically abusive father. My dear sweet mom left her large family of very young children in the “care”of our dad every summer to return “home” solo- to recharge and rejuvenate and escape our toxic and chaotic life. Meanwhile…back at home…

My mom allowed our dad to drive us drunk out of his mind anywhere we needed to go-church, friends’ houses, sports - more peace and quiet for her.

Divorce? Never! She contends-still-that he was an amazing provider and so she’d have been a fool to leave. All about the big house and nice cars and nothing about her DC.

But, go ahead and criticize me for not meeting all of my mom’s needs now at 86. Judge away. Gossip that even though I’m nearby, I don’t often visit and when I do, I don’t stay for long.[/quote]
