What a family!

Geez… Sis finally chimed in with her version of the, ‘Mom Story’, and of course it was all her Mom’s fault! The newest version is that the four foot nine a hundred and twenty pound eighty-eight year old assaulted her, a fifty-six year old around two hundred and fifty pounds at five foot six inches! I know it; sounds crazy to me too!
But here’s the rub…Sissy states that after taking care of her Mom for four whole months that this so-called assault happened out of nowhere and for no good reason…huh?
Besides this whole drama started in August as far as we know; we had spoken with Mom in both her hospital stay and nursing home too, and Mom’s been home a month, according to her stable intelligible self who we had the pleasure of speaking with; now count with me people… August to September is one month, and September to October is … let me see, duh…2 MONTHS! Plus Mom was warehoused in the hospital and the nursing home, as well as her brief stay in the funny farm residence check-up, two or three times as far as we know.
Another lie sissy! OK, Mom it is true has had a history or sort of a reputation with her children for being difficult to get along with over the years at times, but… some Moms just do have that contrite perspective with their youngins, and that is just a fact of life, which at times most parenting can be a crap shoot at best and at worst some may end up in jail.
Bro on the other side of the country suggested to sis to call the cops on Mom, (shame on you Bro; on your own Mother!) due to the assault; but no, Sissy says she didn’t, and Mom says different…not only were the cops called but an ambulance too to take her to a funny farm testing zone, and….Mom passed all the tests and was allowed to go home!
Sis insists it was Mom’s neighbors that suggested it all and now they have decided that Sissy is not the one to be considered a friend, and have given her the cold shoulder and are on Mom’s side once again.
Ooops, talk about backfiring ideas.
Any-who, wonderful daughter and sister has divulged all these informative facts in an email to us, in which she also solicits her desire for us to call her after all these months of no follow-up access as she promised, never ever calling us or sending us any information what-so-ever. I bet you can guess what Hubby has said we should do, no? Yes, he said no emails or phone calls to this person who is supposed to be family.
PS She says she’s not done with the prospect of having her Mom committed!
We all know who should be… don’t we?
I am so disgusted with all this baloney!

But I will wish you all a good night, and just remember that you cannot choose your relatives only your friends! Hint here to couples thinking about marriage, always ask to meet the family first, and temporarily move in with them!
