Cat dead. Mom crazy.

[aquart]

4. She has twiced passed EMS tests so, without power of attorney, we can't do anything.

She doesn't want to be alone and hates me for leaving but she also thinks I tried to poison her.

I've seen her sound very normal to strangers and then switch on a dime as soon as they leave.

She feels terrified and abandoned but she also thinks everything she says is true and an alarming amount isn't.

But what really freaked me out was my calm, sensible sister calling me awash in tears asking if maybe Mom never loved us at all.
