After much thought, I started somberly packing today. As I've been go through everything in the house, I realized that there's stuff stuck everywhere i would want, but wouldn't remember, if something happened forcing me to leave quickly. Sucks.

I've also realized I can be a cruel, vindictive, SOB. I started collecting all my mothers childhood and family pictures, papers, etc to destroy them on her. I've since changed my mind..for now. Instead, I've started putting together a box with all MY childhood drawings, projects, photos, etc that say "I love you, mom" or something similar, that she kept. When she does fuck up and lose the house, it'll be the last thing she'll have to remember me.

On a good note I found a near mint condition, old, black mink coat in the back of a closet that looks to be worth a couple grand, at least. I need to get it appraised. IDK how old it is, I'm guessing 70s by the liner, but it could possibly be from the 40/50s. I think it may have been my grandmother's when she was younger. I know their family had money back then and my mother had quite a bit of expensive jewelry that she inherited when her mother died. Wish I knew where that was.

I'm sorry WeedFreak but I think it's the healthiest thing to do. Get out and start elsewhere, let your mom clean up her own mess.

sad, but true. when someone has an addiction, whether physical or mental, they have to really want to change. that usually doesn't happen till they hit bedrock bottom. you've been there to save her so far, so she thinks things will just always be that way. i know it's hard to turn your back on your mother, but that's what you need to do for a while, let her hit bottom, and realize there's no one there to pick her up. that's the only way she'll wake up and realize she can't keep on the way she is.

50 miles today then another 50 tomorrow. Get the hurt out so I can recover before next weekend in the Ozark trails. Boat races at the lake come the weekend. Should be fun. Even more fun watching the pontoons get washed when the big boats come flying by. Biking, beering, boating and boobing. Can't wait!

Nice. We used to spring break at a buddy's place at tan-tar-a in the late 90's. Good memories.
My old man was actually supposed to go to those boat races, this weekend, but they're coming here for a visit, instead.
