WOW! I hope that uncle B. has been getting treated for his disorder.
I have seen people who have phobia's about disorders. My family have these types of phobia's. I think that some of my family members need treated, but they would rather suffer.
Jezz TB, I really don't know what you can do then. I hate saying this, but when people get to a certain age, they are just set in there ways. I tell Jerry's mom that her son wouldn't want her to be so upset all the time. When my grandma has talked about my mom, I just listen. She doesn't cry about it. Jerry's mom on the other hand does. I know how you feel, because it is sad to see somone in so much pain. I do think that Jerry's mom has problems, because her kids really don't want much to do with her over the way she has treated them when they were growing up. She has a daughter that she hasn't spoken to since her son died. She talks to Jerry on few occasions, but Jerry won't even call her mom. He calls her by her first name only. She has 4 grandkids, and only knows Jerry's son. It's really strange, because she shows a lot of love to Jerry's son, but not to Jerry. She is with a man that is something else that I won't put on here. She is also worried about passing alone. Jerry already knows that the thing that she is married to won't do much about it, so Jerry did say that he will make sure she will be properly placed. Anyways, I will stop rambling. The only thing that I can really think is maybe other than missing your mom, she might be feeling regret. She might be thinking that it is not right for her to live her life. I hope that makes sense. Some people have it in their minds that when they do something wrong they owe someone a service to not move on in their lives. She also could be making herself feel guilty not to always think about her daughter. If you think about it, a child passing is (IMO) the worst hurt that anyone could ever feel. So, like me for example. I still love my mom, but the pain of my mom's passing would be no where near as bad as my child passing.
