I have one of those. She died before she could go full MAGA, but the booze pills and downward trend were all there.

Before she died, she told me she kept my grandmother alive and in agony for two years until she could get the will changed.

Today we honored my mother in law who has grace, good sense and good health and who we are sheltering with through this. We moved her here to ge with us last year.

I too ended up with a head full of hit that had to be unlearned. It takes time to relearn these lessons, accept how bad they were, and forgive yourself your missteps along the way.

Be well and be safe this motherless day.

I am so glad my sister never had children, because this is probably just how she would have been. eppur_se_muova May 2020 #11
