I wish I could forget what I saw this morning. I didn't look at the scene, but a picture of it on camera, and that was bad enough. If I drank, right now I would be plastered. Oh how I want to, but I'm too intelligent and responsible.
After what happened - which I will not detail at all - we're probably going to put my grandmother into a home in the next few months.
Thank. Fucking. Christ.
My mom's reached her first breaking point (of which I allot her three before she has a complete mental breakdown of her own) and with the business-related stresses of the holidays ahead, she needs some sort of mental stability and peace of mind. If it happens again, she needs to be able to see that it'll be one of the last times it'll happen, needs to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and needs to see that there's a definitive stopping point.
My mom has some minor psychic abilities, predictions in sleep which often come true (it runs in the family - I've been places and had experiences years before actually having them in the present), and someone spoke to her in a dream and told her that my grandmother would live until she was 94 before passing on. She's 91. So, with my mother's track record on these things, it weighs heavily on her mind. We're all hoping that this is not one of those cases in which she's right.
Also, fuck my idiot of an aunt, who is a human ostrich with her head buried not in sand, but so deep up her ass that she's giving herself tongue. People have no right to impose guilt on others and with my grandmother living in OUR house, she has no right to any say in this matter.
I will come down on her like the verbal fist of an angry God if necessary.
