I'm sure everyone has good intentions, but I think it is highly inappropriate to discuss another poster in this way....her possible health issues, her son's involvement in her life....this is none of anyone's business on a shopping channel forum.

Thanks, @Anonymous032819, for posting. I posted on her computer thread a few days back hoping she'd post.  I hope she sees your thread and is able to let us know how she's doing. 

I want her to know we miss her.

@alicedee   Overall, I agree with you.  But this poster has made her life an open book to all of us, so we are concerned,and we realize she may read our posts, and I am okay with her reading anything I've said. 

Ive said anything I've stated here, in direct posts to her

I also want Bob to know that we understand how diffiicult his situation is. He reads here sometimes, and I think he should know that we care about him too..

Yes...it is truly a tough place for a loved one to be in.

I didn't realize that he read here.

I don't know how often @tansy . He might want to check up to see what advice we are giving his mother, but ,it was posted he reads here. Halfpint must have told people that

I think since he's the one who has helped her with her computer problems, he was able to see where she was posting online.

@KingstonsMom We don't know if Bob is the way she portrays him. There are 2 sides to EVERY story, and I think it's wrong to judge him by her posts.

He is not well himself and perhaps it isn't always easy for him to find her misplaced checkbook and other stuff, deal with the noises she hears, etc.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. She doesn't sound like she has much patience.

I don't blame Bob for anything, I was just referring to what she's always said, not that I thought it was true.

It's a real challenge, caring for our loved ones later in life, I've lived it firsthand, as many others have.

I feel bad for both of them.
