The sad thing is that my late-80's mother, who's been receiving hospice care only for six months now, and has a long list of chronic illnesses, would like nothing more. Talking with her is a depressing perpetual litany of her saying she wishes she would die. "I don't know why I keep waking up in the morning".

:(

She wasn't a very good mother and we aren't close. This phase of life has left me very jaded, having to live in Groundhog Day Limbo and she's been sick for so long (terrible health since long before POTUS was elected) that it seems like it will never end. She prays to die every day.

She just wants to go be with my dad, who died 5 years ago. He was great. Not perfect, and he beat me with a belt until I threatened to tell the school counselor (designated reporter) and he backed off. Despite that weirdness, I still loved him much more than her.

I don't actually spend much time with her, because I don't care much for getting verbally browbeaten for longer than about half an hour. I usually end up having to bolt and go for a walk before I start responding to her toxic babble. I doubt if she gives a hoot whether I'm with her at the precise moment her heart stops beating or not.

Sending some love out there to other anons who didn't really have a mom, whether she was there physically or not. I get it, frens. We have to be the parent we needed. Family is where we find them.
