The whole challenge that we are facing right now with Mother is so complex and deep. I feel like there is a large, if not total, disconnect on her part with the brevity and the reality of the situation. I am still working on wrapping my brain around the wealth of dysfunction; and it is taxing for sure. And if I am sorta in my right mind, how does this affect someone who is not in their right mind?
I want it all fixed right now and I know that is not going to happen. I at least want to see and feel some progress in getting Mother back on track but we are really at the baby step phase when it comes to handling the behaviors that brought her to today.
I am not a therapist. She will not be able to build a relationship with a therapist for a while as she is scheduled for her hip surgery. I am talking to her doctor’s to gain their partnership in her recovery. I really feel that it will be a long road to recovery and I want Mother to do the work to get herself back to being whole. She deserves it and so do the rest of us.
I want to get her started on peeling back the layers to really see what is inside her brain. She is disconnected and we want her in our lives.
