Insanity and Ugliness

Yeah, I have been missing in action for a long time. However, I've good reasons: my Dad's Alzheimer's has advanced and the cretin he married stuffed him in a skilled nursing facility WITHOUT telling any of us five children for 3 weeks! Lovely woman. Ugh (3 of us kids were all on vacation when said cretin did this.)

He's not completely out there but he needs assistance she refuses to give. Her comment to me previously when his diagnosis was made was: "I didn't sign up for this shit." Stay classy, eh?

Dad spent the entire summer with me in Michigan, did well, was walking well, laughing and made great progress. Well, hell, I am a nurse and I've cared for many patients in his condition. Anyway when he returned home the cretin had locked him out of the house, told him to get he fuck away from her house, threatened my sister and lawyer husband and then called the cops. It was insane and has been so ever since.

So NOW that we all know where he is I drive every other week to Iowa to spend 3-4 days with him. Needless to say I'm less than thrilled with the cretin but as his oldest child I really have no legal rights to assist him---and THAT bites. I'm working on that too. So while I may not post as often I will try to throw some happier things up as I am able. Wish me luck and I promise to behave when seeing said cretin since jail would NOT be a good place for me! }: >~~~

Here, have a photo of Puerto Rico...which was where I began my vacation when the insanity began:
