Re: This Week's Encounters with Legalism
"I had some of those same thoughts about the situation, Margie.
I can't imagine dropping contact with my Mother just because of her supposed "legalistic tendencies"? At least that's what I gathered as his reasoning for leaving her alone?? good heavens" Well, but that discounts the power a mother has over a son, and if the mother is getting pneumonia, I'd say that he may be justified in staying away. This might seem harsh, but it is often the kindest way for the son to honor their parent. But then, pneumonia is a sign to me, like the one shoe off thing. Double-check this, but I think that is a sign of "unprepared to go." |

And I'm pretty sure pneumonia is
"you are not taking care of yourself." |

Pneumonia is post 1, middle of second actual paragraph.
What about when mom won't listen to anything you say, and then demands that you go buy her a bottle? I smell self-pity in her from here, and kids don't naturally shy away from parents for no reason, and then go post about it? |

Yur in my prayers, that's a tuff row to hoe,
especially with that generation. I'm doing similar with my dad, who is also fairly convinced of his own divinity...sitting there in that little room all alone, sniping about...whatever. Of course, she can't hear you, but you might direct her to "Codependent No More," Melody Beattie. peace. |

I don't mind looking like the bad guy. I won't go into details, those who know the situation agree I did the best thing.
