I’m going to brag: I’ve got the most close knit, loving, caring, nuclear and extended family I have ever seen outside of shows like Eight is Enough and the Waltons. Still, cancer put temporary stress on some of my family relationships.  I know scores of other young adult cancer patients who have dealt with family issues like: differing medical values, old feuds and hurt feelings rising to the surface, having someone by your side who loves you but is sometimes just a little too close, or handling complet...

I never thought of it this way before but I guess the Alzheimer's Family Feud is more common than I thought.The issues are often about money, and often about criticism. Many time they are about the plight of the caregiver as they get abandoned by family and friends. I wrote about that last week.Well here goes one whopper of a family feud. Anthony Marshall stands accused of defrauding his mother, the socialite and philanthropist Brooke Astor, before her death in 2007.Prosecutors say that Mr Marshall exploited his mother's declining mental state to secure for himself millions of dollars of inheritance that were intended to go to charity.She was reportedly suffering from A...

I realized that the only time my mother is actually listening or participating in therapy is when we are talking about other people.  My sister.  My aunts and uncles.  My Grandparents. Mark.   Anyone but her and my father.  This week, we did just that and mental mumsy actually threw her hands up, said “I’m not talking about this anymore” and checked out.  She was done. Not a word was uttered.  And hasn’t been since. Why?  What caus... B a b y B o u n d blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1945658 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:39:16 +0100 1945658
