Yeah it is. And I am so far away from them but I don't have the resources to get a POA and place her in a hospital so it is going to have to be up to my father if she won't go willingly when he pays her bail. If he can. I almost hope he won't be able to. At least that way I know she will be safe.

Been there, my friend. The worst part is that awful feeling in your gut when you know there's nothing (else) you can do. That gets less acute with time but it never really goes away. I hope your mom stays safe and is able to get the help she needs quickly, both for her sake and for everyone else's. Hang in there. Take care of yourself, too.

So. Today I got to visit jail. My first time. Drove hundreds of miles to see my 62 year old mother in jail. She has apparently lost touch with reality. I am not sure how to cope with this. Luckily no one was hurt. I am at a loss though. Trying to convince my father and her that she needs to be under a doctor's care. Bond hearing is tomorrow but I probably won't be able to stay. Wife and I are missing work and we're not sure if we'll have enough money for fuel to get back. Sorry, I had to vent it somewhere. I am at a loss. Never thought this could ever happen.

Hope things work out Doug, I can not even imagine how tough this has to be for you and your family :(

Sorry to hear this, Doug. Mental illness in a family member is *the* most taxing thing I've ever been through, mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. You and your mother will be in my thoughts. Hang in there.

I couldn't have said it better. Hang in there Doug, hopefully everything will be better very soon.

Hang in there Doug.


Someone the other day asked Roonies what the TPP is:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership n. 1. A "free trade" agreement that would set rules on non-trade matters such as food safety, internet freedom, medicine costs, financial regulation, and the environment. 2. A binding international governance system that would require the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and any other country that signs on to conform their domestic policies to its rules. 3. A secret trade negotiation that has included over 600 official corporate "trade advisors" while hiding the text from Members of Congress, governors, state legislators, the press, civil society, and the public.

...in other words it's a VERY BAD THING for people, animals, basically life as we know it. Expose the TPP




vaping MBV Butterscotch in one and MBV Whipped Cream in another. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :p
