What a way to start a night!

I can't go into great detail, but I received a very upsetting call last night. To give you a quick background, my growing up years were far from good. I know everyone has ghosts in their closets and I'm no different, but if any of you knew my family you wouldn't believe the stories. Anyway-the situation has escalated even more over the last 6 years. My fathers "care giver" called to let me know they were back in the house but wanted me to find a boat and come and get my father so that she could take care of her things without caring for him. Now mind you, this call came at 10:15 p.m. She was telling me how confused he was and how this was upsetting him and that he was doing strange things. I told her that he was probably having another stroke and that she should either get in HER boat and get him to the hospital or contact the people the have the Durable Power of Attorney over him. The conversation proceed on with her telling me in no uncertain terms that I had caused all of these problems with him and that if he died it was going to be all my fault. (I left out the unnecessary words that she used). Because this is not the first time she has addressed me this way, I was not shocked, but it does still hurt. She tells my father I don't want to see him, but she has told me that if anyone in my family comes into her home she will have us arrested for trespassing. My father lives in the other half of her home. She said she didn't know what to do and I told her what my opinion was--he needs to be in a nursing home--in the last four weeks he has fallen 4 times--one time he said that he laid there for four hours before he could get up. When they moved them to a hotel because of the flood, he fell forward and hit his head on a cement column, but they didn't have him checked out.

I'm sorry to be so gloom and doom today, that isn't my style, but my heart is heavy. I'm so thankful that my Heavenly Father will never leave me or forsake me and that my daughter has a wonderful man she can call Daddy.

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there! You are all awesome and deserve to be honored.

Love to all!
