One step forward

Consoled my Mother. She's at the point where she knows her own father can only last so long...he's getting too old. He was a harsh cold father but better than her mother who truly hated her. She claims he was the best of the worst and all she had. I feel he only ever used her and took advantage of her, and I don't really understand why she loves him so much. But it's not my place to make it worse, it's my place to just hold her and let her cry.

I think I do know how she feels.. it's kinda hard to explain.. sometimes no matter how bad or cruel that person is.. it's that family tie that keeps you bonded to the other person.. and sometimes you just can't help but love and care for family, really. My father was a really hard, difficult man.. and as angry as I was at him a lot, I also loved him oh so much. I hope your mother will be okay.
