Asked my Trump supporter abusive father hundreds of times over the past twenty years

[Proud to be Woke]

18. I am sorry..

I am sorry. I have been through the emotional wringer myself over the past 6 years dealing with an increasingly mentally ill sibling (one of two, the other is mentally normal). She was really emotionally abusive when I was a child and young adult; never apologized; got better after our father became ill and needed care, and later, after he died, she was much nicer and quite generous; she stayed on a more or less even keel for many years until she retired. She is a narcissist from what I can conclude. I think when she retired, she lost a lot of supply and then the COVID 19 isolation times when she seldom left the house out of fear of catching it (she didn't), meant she did not take part in many volunteer activities anymore. The last two years were unbearably abusive toward me and then she wanted to move in with me and I had to decline since her requirements were that I get rid of my spouse. Same if I moved in with her.

She really needed to go to an assisted living facility. Miffed at me, she stopped speaking to me and moved in with a friend until a good facility had an opening. Praise the Lord they did, and she has been in it ever since. She is much healthier now and does speak to me. I feel for you. Keep your friends close; they will definitely help you in this time.
