Checking in

I talked to my mom this morning and she's having a difficult time with Gam. Everything she tries to do - whether that be installing a grab bar or putting wheels on her walker - Gam is fighting her tooth and nail. Mom finally talked with the therapist to make sure understood her 20 year old fallen arch is not going to be repaired overnight through therapy. He's just there to get Gam back to the way she was before the stroke. Yet she continues to scream and verbally abuse mom every chance she gets... making hurtful comments. It would be one thing if Gam was losing her wit - dimentia or something - but she's not which makes her acts even more hurtful. She tried to talk to my uncle about it - who plays the backseat quarter back from the east coast - and who has told my mom where was she when her father died? Ouch. That's painful. She's going through a very difficult time right now - I hope she survives without too much irrepairable damage. I asked her if she needed me to fly out again and help her - she refused. I just want to make sure she knows I'm there for her and support her in this trying situation.
