FUUUUUUCKK! [View all]

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s summer of ‘19. Personally, I think it’s Louis Body dementia with Parkinsonion symptoms. She’s fucking rocketing down the dementia hill, man.

Today, I’m cooking dinner and she calls me upstairs. The toilet overflowed. I get the wet/dry vac and get to it, dig? Get it dry enough to go in and I find this....



And of fucking course, she didn’t do it. Yeah, just me n her here but “someone” must have done it. It’s always fucking “someone” but not her. I’ll tell you this, if I ever find “someone’ in this house, “someone” is being dragged to the woodshed and getting his ass kicked. Fuck!

I was much more calm when dealing with her even though I was feeling white hot anger at the moment....

Just needed to vent. Thanks DU.
