I have 7 brothers and sisters, and my mom lives with me.. I am finding it very hard everyday to see how my mom is slowly losing herself....She is 79 yrs.old,she's been through alot in her life,she has a big scar on her back from when she was working in the rice fields in Japan (16yrs.old),when the USA bombed Japan..she married my dad and came to the states,raised 8 children,dealt with my dad's drinking,hasn't been back to Japan since she left,almost 50 yrs. later...My siblings live about 30 or 40 miles from us,and no one calls or comes by to see her,almost like they forgot about her,(to busy with their own lives)of course atleast 5 out of 7 of them would call on mothers day,and certian holidays..Dementia is where she's at right now...I'm heartbroken watching her everyday,it doesn't get any better,I am 43yrs.old,i have custody of my 4yr.old granddaughter,so if I want to go anywhere ever, i have to get a sitter for both of them...The funny thing is ..my mom never liked me growing up.....
