Dear Mary
I've just caught up your thread after being away from TP. Can i just say how sorry I was to read about the difficulties you have been experiencing with your mother's illness. What a traumatic time for you both, I do hope that her symptoms improve very soon. I have never been on the receiving end of any physical abuse from Dad. But I have seen Dad so poorly with his illness that other peple have been at risk. I am not saying that there are similairities in our circumstances, just that it is very frightening indeed to witness violent episodes. When its aimed at you, plus the verbal abuse, I cant imagine what that must be like. Your mother is a very poorly lady, I'm glad that she has started receiving treatment. May I ask, why the medics didn't consider hospitalising her? although she's started treatment, do you feel still at risk?
take care
