In the last two months
- M attempted suicide
- Somehow I was the only one authorized to deal with medical and health decisions for him
- The hospital discharged him after a few days without notifying any family members - chaos ensued.
- Then, I had a long conversation with his ex"room-mate" - It turned my perception of the last 10 years, upside down.
- I came to the sudden realization M is really really sick.
- I determined to cut off all contact.
- My mom called - Dad's cancer had spread - he had 6-8 weeks to go - max
- My parents have made no plans for his death what so ever (after 9 years of sickness)
- A week later their house was sold by the land lord. They had 60 days notice in a market where rents had doubled in rental price.
- M's fury about being isolated and me talking to his girlfriend of 2 years was unleashed
- Dad's chemo did not help. Dad admitted in hospital on palliative care
- Mom in complete despair, alone a world away
All this wile still struggling wiht my complete isolation from adult company.
I keep breathing, and reminding myself: This too shall pass...
