It's been a stressful several months. When you live a few thousand miles away from an elderly parent who is stubborn as all get-out, then you find yourself facing extreme circumstances -- such as her being homeless, of all things. She sold her little house for a song, my brother spent most of the money in 2 months, then they were bounced out of a few apartments because he didn't have the presence of mind to make certain the rent was paid! Really, could you be more incompetent (or was that money going toward Vegas gambling and spending way too much on food and other things, never living on a budget)?
She is now in a group home. She says it is the "Howard Hughes Group Home" but I googled it and it wasn't found under that name. I hope my package of magazines reaches her because I believe I have the correct street address!
