I think I was pretty clear about not being judgmental and certainly there are some valid reasons for not attending (abuse, etc.), however I am sure that is not the case for 100% of the in-patients, that was my point. There are people who don't understand how long those days can be and how lonely these people can get. Some people flat out just don't care.Dream Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351348027973964625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22370535.post-52713991220598398982011-03-04T08:58:05.947-06:002011-03-04T08:58:05.947-06:00I have to agree with Anon.

Family members could live in another city or be estranged.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138978241953283570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22370535.post-51170383016709944842011-03-03T20:25:16.216-06:002011-03-03T20:25:16.216-06:00Anon-I had to laugh when I read your comment only...Anon-I had to laugh when I read your comment only because I totally understand how challenging some parents can be. My mother will challenge the best of them to put it nicely. I have decided to look the other way and let it roll off however it's not very easy at times. I could probably add more to support your position however it's best that I leave things as they are.

I will not waste my time with her (a decision made in her early 60s when she was still in good health). Life is too short to waste it like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
