mm. We share tragedy too. My mother in law was a very good woman and never did anything against me. So she was not typical of some Mothers in Law.. Now at 81 she has dementia, and it is wearing us down with the phone calls like what time is it? then five minutes later she would phone again. Two days ago she phoned us at 3am in the morning and was arguing about what day it was. We didn't know it would change a person's personality like it has done for her. She has infarq Dementia - brought on by blood clots in the brain destroying different areas of the brain - its described as mini-strokes, so I guess its non self-healing like a normal stroke.
This is why I am not on often. I'm trying to be a counselor as well as comforter when my wife is not here at home. Man! the stress gets bad but without my meditation I don't know what I would do.
It's great that you have a Young Friend who understands (or tries to) what your going through. That's unusual in some young guys. You are very lucky.
