Before I take a little break I just wanted to share this about my elder...
Was asked to join a meeting at my elder's assisted living home with the director.
(My elder is at a different facility in rehab working towards improving. At almost 100 now, she is fighting to get stronger.)
It's about her husband. The director explains he is no longer permitted to visit her if/when she returns. And social services has been contacted about his abusive behavior.
It hurt to hear, but it was such a relief that someone else saw it and said it out loud.
He. Was. Abusive.
I've been carrying a lot of guilt because it was me who strongly prompted her moving away from him/home. I have taken her sadness about missing home to heart and wondered if I'd done the wrong thing. I worried I made it worse.
But here these people had witnessed him for a few weeks and didn't need any convincing.
I wish my elder could understand too.
I understand and that's a lot to go forward with given my last relationship that went on way too long and yes, it was abusive.
Anywhoo, I'll be back. Gonna do some quiet inner and outer work. Gotta keep evolving.
Oh and I got a 6'x10' rainbow flag to hang on the back of my garage so my neighbors (who is super MAGA and disrespectful) can see it. And a solar rainbow spotlight so the gay never stops.
Love you guys 🖤🦊
