I want to first thank everyone that replied to my other threads...
1. the one that we almost were killed on I30.
2. The prayer request for my father
3. Advice on the oxygen mask hurting his face. I never had time to respond to them and now it seems kind of late to do so. So thank you to everyone, and I did read the replies as I was coming and going. I will try to reply to them anyway once I get a chance too.
I'm just wanting to ask everyone here to please pray for my mother now. Some of you might recall she has a tumor on her brain. Well while I was going to Little Rock to be with my dad in the V.A. hospital, my mom finally snapped. They called me from a gas station saying she was being taking into custody by the police. The next day I had to go file a petition to have her committed to a mental hospital so they can figure out how to fix her. That was the 2nd hardest thing I've ever did in my life.
I brought my daddy home from the V.A. that same day, and I have to keep him in bed for 2 weeks on oxygen. So I'm still having to care for him and to top things off, I had to do the worse thing last night I have ever had to do in my life.
They called me and said my grandmother is in the hospital and probably won't make it through the next few days. This is my mom's mother and I had to call and tell her last night that her mom is about to die. :(
Also everyone at the hospital staying with my grandmother. My mom's whole family were all telling me how my mom had been written them horrible letters telling them off and calling and leaving them awful messages on their machines......so I told them all that they need to remember that my mom is sick right now. No different than someone that's had a heart attack. But instead of her heart being sick, it's her brain, and they all needed to be supportive of her and stop whinning about what she called them because they should know that if she was normal she wouldn't do that. I just don't understand sometimes how people can be so insensitive to someone who is having mental problems. They need help because their brain isn't working right, same as someone that heart isn't working right needs help.
So now I'm running back from the hospital where my grandmother is, to the one where my mom is, and plus I'm having to run back and forth taking care of my dad. Thankfully my cousin is coming by his house as well keeping food prepared for him to eat and his laundry caught up.
Please pray for my family

I am really sorry you are going through all this. This is too much for anyone to have to go through at one time. The hardest thing is trying to keep yourself healthy and sane through all this. If you feel close enough to any of the family, even just 2 , I would invite them over for coffee,I know, but you will have to make time for coffee, it may pay off it the long run, tell them how difficult things are. Explain again for the tenth time that your mom is physically ill and that is causing her mental problems. Tell them you are doing all you can do and could sure use some help. Make it a plea instead of a criticism. Ask them to spread the word through the family to try to be understanding of the situation and ask them to refrain from being critical of your mom to you because it hurts. Handled tactifully maybe they will pitch in and help you instead of making things harder. Heaven knows you could use all the help you can get right now. I will be thinking of you.

I just made it home from visiting my mom. The hospital she is in, is over an hour away from my house and I was so worried about her. Her mother (my grandmother) passed away tonight. :( :(
I can't even seem to grieve over her passing because I'm so torn up knowing my mom was close to her and is locked away right now. All I can think about is my mom. My mom is like a totally different person right now. She is so mean spirited right now it just breaks my heart because she won't let me hug her or try to comfort her. I can tell even in her state of mind this is eating at her badly. She is focusing allot of her anger at me, which makes it very hard, but all I want is her to get better and as much as the things she is saying to me hurts, I can deal with it if she will only get better. I stayed as long as I could at the hospital with her but they finally made me leave. I just called back up there and they said her blood pressure is back up and she is having a bad night. :(
I feel so alone right now. BigLyd1, I'm a only child. It sure would be nice to have some siblings right about now though. Thank you everyone for your advice. My husband works 7 days a week now and can't make time to help me, but I understand. Maybe some of the other family members might could help out after the funeral, but I don't think I could ask them to right now since mamaw died today. My best friend has been going back and forth with me allot because the trips are so far. Over an hour away to see mom, my dad is half an hour away now at his house (while he was in the V.A. it was about a 2 to 3 hour trip one way), my grandmother was about 45 mins away and all of them were in opposite directions.
I've now got to go to court Monday over my mom. They said it's a have to situation. Something to do with her being under a 72 hour evaluation. That is in another town that is about 1 and half hours away from my house in the opposite direction from where my mother is. So that means if I go visit her monday after court it will take me about 2 and a half hours to get back there I guess.
Thank you everyone if you made it this far listening to my rambling. I haven't been home long and I just need someone to talk to. Sometimes it's allot easier telling you guys things than it is telling people I really know.
Thank you everyone for your prayers, they mean so much to me.

I feel so alone right now. BigLyd1, I'm a only child. It sure would be nice to have some siblings right about now though.
I sure can relate, my parents divorced when I was little, My Mom did remarry and divorce and I had a little brother from that marriage but my brother passed away on Dec 23,2002 (cancer) and I had to care for my Mom by myself, she didn't drive and I had to take her everywhere...while I had to do this my Dad had alzhimers(SP?), I had to put him in a nursing home (so hard), in the meantime I just moved my Mom close to me and had just got her settled in her apt. she got sick and I found out she had lung cancer, this was on early Oct. they said she had 3-4 mos. so we moved her in with us, got hospice and she passed away Oct. 21, I had no clue what I was doing, had to make all decisions by myself, everything, I wished many times I had more brothers and sisters, heck I still do....I know its so tough for you right now but hopefully soon everything will get better, I'll say a prayer for you and your family........Pam
