Oh, gosh, sending all the health ~ma your stepdad's way and calm ~ma to you, sj.

Laura, that is wild -- is that typical behavior for her? I don't even have the energy to throw a sustained tantrum, and I imagine she's got a few decades on me. Yikes. Hope you've been able to take a break from all family agita today. It's a lot.

Our wings are not tired.

Screaming hysterically at her children is a relatively recent behavior. She refuses to address any of her fixable issues, and her kids are growing tired of it. At this point, they almost always let her leave a message and call her back when they can get comfy and listen to the rants. She is going to end up living with one of us, or in assisted living, but she refuses to take care of herself, and insists she would never consent to living with her kids. Parents!

Continuing to send recovery vibes, and calming vibes your way, sj.

It was a heart attack. He’s in stable condition.

Stable is good. May his recovery be swift.

Still sending all the good vibes, sj. Stable is a good word, yes.

Oof, that's tough, Laura.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, sounds like she has some dementia issues. Glad to hear your stepdad is stable, sj!

The status is NOT quo.

Sending -ma, sj. Glad to hear he’s stable.

They’re not letting ltc up to see him because she’s not 13.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

All the love and ~ma to you and the family, sj.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, definitely. My grandma got a second chance and lived for a long time after her heart attack.
