Ok - a little update to the Soap Opera of my Life.......

My older brother calls me and says he has some thing for me and ask when I will be home?

Ok - it is the day after my birthday so I am thinking....... a birthday gift - right? - WRONG!!!

He arrives at my house and ask me to come out side and he takes me around to the back of his car and opens the trunk........ Well, what do I see, but every thing I have ever given my mother in his trunk all packed up for me to take back - for my mother no longer wants them

Then - he hands me a money order from my mom and he tells me what the $120 is for:

1.) $65 - for my part of her mothers days gift this year

2.) $25 - for the money used to buy my sister a b.day gift from my mother.

3.) $5 - for some Milk & Eggs I picked up for her a few weeks back - at no charge.

4.) $25 - My birthday Gift, for she has already planned to give it to me.

MY REPLY:

You can keep the items (brothers name said) or give them to your girls / kids for I do not wish to have them, or give them back to mom.
and BTW - I think our mom has finally lost her mind, she is NUTS.

HIS REPLY:

I think I will take them home and put them up in my bedroom closet.... in case mom wants them back one day.

What do YOU all think of that....... and keep in mind this entire time my mom is insisting that she is not ANGRY at me - just HURT. (by some thing that never happened - only in her mind)

And she included a note with the money order that tells me how awful and evil I am and that I am disowned as her daughter and that from this forward WE ARE STRANGERS and that she can longer TRUST ME.

SORRY for this comment and I hope it does not offend any one.......... BUT

WHAT A NUT CASE

* * * * * * * * *

I called one of my older sisters and talked to her about all of this after my brother had left..... and she was shocked and yet stated that she hopes I do not take this to personally for she thinks it is all do to my mothers illness (many of them) and maybe it is worse than we all know and that it is now getting to her mind / memory.

..... I am trying, but it is hard for I know that I will not be with my family when they get together at our mothers house for any thing, not to mention the Holidays coming up.

.... Part of me wanted to cry when all of this was happening (but I did not) and now part of me is relieved - for I have already lived thru 40 years with this family / mother.
