Sooo, does that mean that dad will be living with one of them? I think they will regret their decision soon enough. I think God just wanted to let them learn their own lesson in ways you could never show them.
I have faith, like you, Bee. These things don't happen for no reason. Just enjoy the peace and quiet you have at your home now. Your mother is safe with you. You do not need the burden of dealing with your father.
Let the Toxic Trio and your dad deal with each other. They deserve each other. They have a lot to learn and maybe work through.
You'll see, in the end this is probably the right thing. Us mere mortals are often too short-sighted to see things that clearly.

"Let go and let God". I love that saying.
Prayers for peace and contentment coming your way. :hugs

Bee, you are so right, God does allow things to happen, and it is ALWAYS for the good of those who love Him...so you just keep on trusting that He knows what He is doing because He does!
I read a very good article today about how coconut oil reverses altheimers (spelling?)
My prayers are with you and your mom...you two just spend this time enjoying each other. You know, maybe the good Lord is just giving mom a bit of time to rest and recoup after all these years with your dad. He has a plan for all of you:>) And Bee, your faith really inspires me.

WHAT????

They'll find out really quickly what alzheimers is all about. I've been there and done that with DH's grandmother. It's not an easy illness to deal with. You never know what each day will bring.

Maybe this is just a way to give your mom the time she needs to rebuild. After all these years she definitely needs a break.

We missed you darlin', glad you're back! :hugs

:hugs To you and your mom Bee. Altho you may feel this to be a devestateing turn of events....just remember, there is a reason..altho it may be beyond our realm of reasoning. I DO hope the "toxic trio" has done thier homework on your dads condition. I "raised" my grandfather in his last year, with Sundowners Disease. Pretty much the same as alzhiemers.(sp) It was hard work...however, I do have several fond memories even through the darkest days.
You have your Mother there, and THATS what counts. You can both heal now....together. Enjoy the upcoming holidays with her...and hold her close. When she is ready...sit together with photo albums..and try to recall the "good old days" I wish you and your mother peace...and healing.

Oh Bee - :hugs to you and your Mom.

Like everyone else your faith astounds me all the time.

I am not at all concerned about the difficulty ahead for the Toxic Trio. But there is concern for you Fathers actual welfare. I just hope they come to see the light. Of course I am guessing their light seeing day will come the same day they spend the last of his dollars.

Hug your Mom and tell her there is a whole communty here standing beside you both.

Thank you so much, y'all! I will tell the Bat to just "hang in there!" <snicker> Get it? Bat....hanging in there? Oh, well.....it was funny from this side! :p

Sorry I haven't been on here much to witness everyone's life....I really, really miss it! But, we have 4 phones in the living room right now that have dead batteries by the end of each day from all the calls of love and support from family and friends to the Bat. I told her we would have to surgically remove a phone from her face before long! :p

I have dial up, so this pretty much curtails my activity on line, but I don't mind so much if my mama gets some comfort. She deserves it and needs it. We played cards last night and it really brought the shine back to her eyes.......we will do it again tonight and see if we can't help her forget for another little while.

You guys are the best and I miss you all so much! :love
