I don't have any advice or answers for you, but I wanted to applaud you for having the courage to speak up for yourself and say what was on your mind. By the time I got up the gumption to do that with my Mother I don't know if I thought she was too far along to be able to handle it, or maybe it just didn't matter to me anymore, but now I wish I had.

Even if it seems like it didn't do any good, you can bet she knows how you feel. Don't hesitate to give her another *reminder* if you need to...
