THANKSGIVING 2010

Hello Nice People,

It's the day after Thanksgiving. We had a nice day yesterday. Melody, Shane and the kids were here for dinner. Dominic, Chas and Angelo came in later for pie and coffee. They go to her mothers and aunts earlier for dinner. We ate and talked and laughed. Thats good to do now and then. I am so lucky to have my kids and their families close by.
We have a part of the family who is not a good story. I never thought anything about the disease, Schizofrania. But hubby has a Neice who has this problem. She has social problems, and was recently evicted from her section 8 apartment because she harasses other tenants. Now, homeless and with only her cat, she has been living in her car down at the bay that looks over Ocean City. We have tried to help her with no luck. She is very, very combative and angry. The police know her very well, because she has been arrested so many times. We are in contact with the police. They say they cannot remove her til she does something wrong. Knowing her, it will eventually happen. It's getting cold. The police keep an eye on her continuously, riding by to make sure her car is running to keep her warm. Hubby gives her enough money when she needs it for more gas, but until things change, thats all she will let us do. I hope this situation will change soon.

  1. Mental illness takes a toll on everyone in the family it seems. Too bad she won't accept help and find herself in a safe place. I'm happy to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving. It is good to laugh....makes everything better if only for a little while.
    Take care,
    Lisa
