thank you

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.. i wanted to thank each and every one of you not only

for the advice you give, but for the chance i had to understand a bit

about what my mother might have gone through while i was a child..

for the first time in 37 yrs, when i went to her in the hospital, i

was able to understand a little and deal with her mood fluctuations

and so on better.. ive also come to terms with how i felt as a

child.. i honestly thought i made her ill.. now i can see it was

coincidence.. the illness would have happened anyway.. i didnt cause

it and her blaming me was natural, and part of the emotional effect

no doubt..no one ever told us that her erratic behaviour could have

been helped by drugs..she had the operation and took no meds after..i

know she lived on laxatives and sedatives..and went on to develop

multiple serious health problems..i am fairly sure these were as a

result of inadequate medical care, maybe becasue it was long ago and

they didnt know any better then.. as i write this i know she wont

live long.. heart, lungs and kidneys failing.. but all of you have

given Mum and me a chance to be friends for a while.. you are in my

prayers, each of you, and your families, thank you

with love, Grace
