AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 76.
My dear mother has agreed to refrain from seeking the assistance of the night staff, who, we agreed, cannot do anything to resolve this matter.
But as is her way, she left me with the impression that she would abide with my request, but at the cost of her having to deal with any detrimental consequences for herself.
For which, it is implied, I will be responsible and should be rightfully and seriously be ashamed.
And so, as my dear mother advances down the path of the parallel world to which she, and many, if not most of us who break thorough the ceiling of the reputed 3 score and 10 years age limit of 'man.'
Are, it seems, inescapably pulled into, at times probably reluctantly. At other times unknowingly.
Our communication, as I have already noted in earlier post, continues to be more challenging.
She will often know what my responses to certain, and, indeed, many of the things she complains about, are going to be, as they have now become automatic.
To be continued!
