Your comment was an attempt at snark and borderline rudeness just like your post about talking to your parents. You picked the wrong one if you thought you'd type like that to me but get nothing in return. Lesson learned on your part.

My comment about my parents was a furious and hasty response to something I saw as a slight to them. As my post above says, they did the best they could, they were at wits end. My mother and I spoke quite a bit about it before she passed, and she honestly was dying inside at the time, not knowing what tack to take, what to do, how to help. She was a wonderful woman, but she didn't have all the answers, just as I, now a mother, don't.
We like to think we do, but we don't, and sometimes we're just flying by the seat of our pants.
