Well, we all seem to agree that Christmas sucks
when complicated by AD, and all the emotional complications it causes.
Nat, I didn't mean to sound scolding, and I'm not offended. I don't think anyone's offended actually. That's one of the best things about this forum, you can get things off your chest and people will understand the need for that. I DO confess to envy of your seemingly unfailing energy and determination, and the amount of time and attention you give freely & generously, both to your Dad and to this TP, but it's not a nasty kind of envy.
I'm certainly not averse to straight talking myself, but try to recognise that people who are having a really hard time emotionally come here when they are down
For every story told here of which we think we know the details, there is probably a wealth of background info. which we know nothing about, so it can be easy to tread on sore toes sometimes without meaning to. Likewise behind your vigorous and forceful public face, there is still your Daddy's little girl weeping for him in the night. Don't think we don't feel for you and your pain too; {{{we do}}}.
