This is the same city where the Bodega worker was charged with murder for the crime of not wanting to be the next of a long line of victims???? I fear for the Marine's well being

As is the far right wing nuts..

A conservative group of ladies are flipping out bc FTD sent email or message saying if seeing the ads for mother's day are painful they can pause them! Seriously?? This is causing their panties to be in a painful wad??? Telling them to get over it, life goes on...Seriously...I God forbid, can't imagine life wo my child.

I'm a daughter, wife and mom! I'm not offended. FTD isn't canceling mother's day. I lost my parents. There are people who lost children and are raw w grief. I got flack for saying this and to have compassion as it is an option from FTD!

This is the shit that is wrong w our country

Completely unrelated but mental illness and aggression related. Today, my client attempted to attack me again. I saw her crazy eye come out and I warned her I would leave and no longer work with her if she attacked me. (She attacked her other caregiver yesterday and was up since 2am so there was reason to be concerned) She went after me and I left.

My last day was supposed to be next Friday, but I told her Mom if I come back Monday she won’t have a consequence for this behavior. So it was happy hour by noon! Lol

I put this in the fuck around and find out category.

Obviously one has sympathy for those who struggle with mental illness. There are nowhere near enough resources to provide adequate care. Toss a government program like Medicaid in the mix and you got a huge ticking time bomb situation.

I absolutely know people who are wishy washy on the issue of mentally ill people, have never spent any amount of time with someone who has a serious mental illness. They are strong, and they are dangerous. Once you know them they become a little less unpredictable, like I knew to be on guard today, but a stranger on a subway, the average person has no idea what can happen. Consider a marine needed the assistance of two additional grown men, because he, a trained Marine, was unable to subdue him without help.

That was my morning. I had Dad, sister who is an occupational therapist, and one of her other sisters was home from college. We were all ready to physically restrain her if necessary. Mom was out of the house, (Thank God) but Mom’s 110 soaking wet, has rheumatoid arthritis, and just had wrist surgery. She could crush her mother.

I feel bad, but I sure as hell am not going to let her assault me again. (She has several times in the past) When I resigned via email I told both parents they need to start thinking long term. They are 50 and I am turning 60. I started at 55 and I told them it’s only going to get harder. Waiting lists are years long and they will be peaceful when they can no longer do it, if they know she’s situated. In the meantime K is not the only person in the family to consider. There are three other daughters and this one sucks all the energy out of the house, and Mom, and her other girls are worried about Mom. K is going to do K. We need to accept we can’t change it and this is how it is going to be. She’s 26 and fully mature.

Sorry so long, but I had nowhere else to put that where people in my vicinity won’t stumble on it. Thanks for reading my gummy ramble.

I feel I’m among friends. And now I join G in unemployment, but my exit was planned and about a year overdue.
