I can't remember if I posted about how my mother treated me and George this past November/December but I know I posted last year about how she accused us of abuse because of yelling and popping ( not spanking really just a pop or two). Well she did it again this past year. Things blew over Sort of. George may never forgive her and I am still having problems but I am trying to forgive her. A lot of it was her medication. She was on 30 or so prescriptions. Well, because of an issue with her Dr's office in Charlotte, she had to go off all her medication. ALL of it. She was even on morphine daily. She did it all on her own. This woman couldn't vacuum. She could barely get out of bed some days. She couldn't ( and some days just wouldn't) do things for herself. She went through hell going off her meds. And I mean HE!! BUT.. I think I have my mom back. The woman she was when I was a teenager. We've gotten together several times since she went off her meds and it's been so much fun to be with her. No snide comments, no remarks that make me want to smack the crap out of her. No more of me wishing she had died a few years ago. She is on about three medications. 1 for her restless legs syndrome. 1 pain pill that she takes 1 every four hours and she's been doing that. not doubling it or anything. and 1 to help her sleep, because she doesn't sleep.. at all. And though I wish she wasn't on those last two, that's a heck of a lot better than 30 a day. She promises I have my mom back. She swears she isn't going to be mean and snide any more. I guess we will wait and see. She called me crying the other night because she vacuumed her carpet for the first time in over 6 yrs all on her own. She is taking walks and getting out some. Dad is working two jobs and has the only vehicle so she is a bit depressed that she can't get out more. But she lives where she can walk down and listen to a band or two in the evenings and go down the marshwalk or the inlet. I am so happy. But.. I am tentative too. I am so scared she's going to slip back into what she was before.
