My MIL died last Feb. When she was alive she was not involved much in our lives or our kids, but she depended on us for lots of other things and support, sort of a one way street. We still loved her in a arms lenght kinda way.
My mom is nuttier than hell. She is in a Assisted living home in Okla. She has been nutty all her life. My brother grew pot in his room when I was a kid and she would come in an water it for him. She never knew what it was but she took care of it til he harvested it. It had great big buds on it and he had taken out all the male plants so you could imagine what it looked like. A bonsi sex starved female pot plant.
Yea, she was pretty nutty.
