I don't really understand what your plan is. How are you going to address the issue? You're not leaving her, I don't think, and what's the purpose of you checking in by phone?

Anyway, she might not get it either in terms of the whys and wherefores? It doesn't sound like you talked about the plan, you just handed it over?

Oh, and yeah, you know the answer: in addressing it, the only way out is through.

I hope it works out.

(And you didn't ask for this, sorry, but I don't think you need to feel gross about wishing other people were your mother. I know I don't - sad, yes, but not gross.)
