I phoned the bother at 9<\/span>
and laid everything out in a clear and concise manner<\/span>
and then got <\/span>
full <\/span>
on <\/span>
hysterical<\/span>
<\/span>
and like most men<\/span>
his immediate reaction was:<\/span>
“I’m coming down there and putting her in a home……if she won’t take care of herself then by god I’ll be making the decisions for her but you have to understand that she will be mad at you for squealing on her”<\/span>
<\/span>
uhmmmm<\/span>
hello?<\/span>
what the fuck do you think I’ve been trying to do for all these years?<\/span>
<\/span>
I.have.been.taking.care.of.her.for.as.long.as.I.can.remember.<\/span>
<\/span>
sometimes I think it’s what I was born for<\/span>
cos it’s not like anyone else gives a shit….<\/span>
<\/span>
and maybe <\/span>
what I really needed to hear<\/span>
was <\/span>
“you’ve been doing a good job “<\/span>
or <\/span>
“thanks for all your hard work”<\/span>
<\/span>
it’s not like I’m a moron<\/span>
I know that she will eventually die<\/span>
we all will<\/span>
but a little support wouldn’t be remiss<\/span>
<\/span>
admitting to myself that it scares me is hard enough<\/span>
having to have “Mr. Fixit” announce from on far <\/span>
that he will “take care of it”<\/span>
just pissed me off…<\/span>
<\/span>
what the fuck have you been doing about “taking care of it”<\/span>
for the last 10 years?<\/span>
<\/span>
so I arrived at work at 10 <\/span>
talked to one of the directors at work<\/span>
that let me in on some counselling <\/span>
provided by our HR dept<\/span>
that I can access for free<\/span>
<\/span>
I set my out of office email for the holidays<\/span>
and both my voice mails<\/span>
and came home at noon<\/span>
and sat here in the dark<\/span>
<\/span>
I tried all afternoon to get to sleep<\/span>
but didn’t’ have any luck<\/span>
I finally did so around 5:30<\/span>
<\/span>
I woke around 7 <\/span>
so<\/span>
I called the VOD and asked her if she wanted me to get anything for her at the store<\/span>
and she told me “she’s sick”<\/span>
I told her if she’s still sick tomorrow she’ll be going to the Dr<\/span>
and there ain’t no arguin <\/span>
so give it up<\/span>
<\/span>
apparently with an hour’s sleep comes a little backbone<\/span>
<\/span>
I’ve been functioning for the better part of my adult life<\/span>
on the brute strength and ignorance gets you thru persuasion<\/span>
I do it for myself with my health<\/span>
and I do it for the VOD to take care of her<\/span>
<\/span>
all I have to do is get mad at them<\/span>
and I can do it<\/span>
<\/span>
I may not like it<\/span>
and I may not need it<\/span>
but I can do it<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
