Yes her son lives nearby, but if you've followed her posts about Bob, he's not very patient and resents it when she continuously asks for his help.

Well, as a former caregiver, I have a different take on that. We do all we can, and it often isn't appreciated.

I think when halfpint posts, it would be in her best interests for us to encourage her to cooperate with her son and to appreciate all he does for her.

He is probably frustrated with having to do the same things over and over again.

It isn't easy taking care of someone who has Altzheimer's/dementia (I'm NOT diagnosing, just saying in general) and watching the person that you love, decline, and become more child-like in their behavior.

Remember, we only know what she tells us, and his perspective can be completely different.

Still, it would be nice to know something.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

Who knows? Bob might not be the villian she describes.
She comes and goes pretty regularly so this isn't out of the ordinary.

QVC contacetd her once before, when someone was frightened she was ill or hurt. She was fine

She might be doing something she doesn't want to share, or just busy, or as others have said has computer trouble....she never stays away for too long, and I am sure she will be thrilled that @Anonymous032819 started a thread about her..she needs to have friends here, that she feels cares about her. I sort of think we are her nightlight ,when things become to dark for her to handle

How nice that QVC contacted her. I would have never expected that!

I think they are good about this sort of thing. Someone called I believe ,and told them what had happened. She shops here ,so they had all of her information on file

I have read her accounts of Bob. I have stated that I feel sympathy for him and would like to hear his side of the story.

I agree with @tansy . You have to remember when she posts things, she is mad at him, and may just be letting off steam

He has been very good to her, and is not well himself

I am not as regular a poster as many of you, but I also have been wondering why she hasn't posted. Hopefully she will let everyone know she is fine. I said a short prayer for her.
