Reply #96: You could say that I "live with mommmy"

[gaspee]

And you'd be right. And I am 41 years old. So I guess I am a total loser, right? Oh yeah, not married. (GLBT, thanks)

Let's back up a bit, shall we.

Parents are lower middle class blue collar workers. Always lived paycheck to paycheck. Now eek out an existence on Social Security.

Dad is 70 with early dementia that has turned him into a total prick toward my mom. Doesn't drive any more.

Little brother (38 years old) is developmentally disabled and doesn't drive, though he works at a grocery store as a bagger.

Mom is 61 and is in remission from PPC (for now) - the chemo has wrecked her eyesight and except for short trips in our own neighborhood, isn't comfortable driving anymore.

So I guess if I ever made the news, people would make fun of me for "living with mommmy"

I guess I can live with that even though it will be meant as a way to insult me. Ah well. Even though it's meant to be belittling, I don't feel belittled by the insult.

I think I might post this as an OP.
