Admit her mother to a care facility.
It was necessary because her dad could no
Longer attend to his wife's needs.
But the young woman wasn't prepared for
Her mom's diatribe on her first visit, by
Her verbal and physical attack.
With the help of aides she managed to
Slip away undetected, all the while praying that
They would be able to calm her mother, her
Best friend turned enemy.
I was heartbroken for the distraught daughter.
"There are no words," I told her.
But then I thought of four:
"God sees.
He cares."
Enough for now.
