My leukemia's back.

Hondo was the first movie my father took us too. I was too young to know what was going on. Then my big sister took me to see "Lady & the Tramp." Of course I cried over all the dogs in the dog pound and wonder if the Siamese cats brought on my dislike for felines. They were horrible.

After consideration, it's not really a bad card. It just struck me wrong, because of the situation. She's not happy her son married me. Everything was fine when he and I were just living together. She was nice as could be to me. When we got married, all that changed. She had planned that her other son would move near her, and take care of her in her old age. He got married, and upset the apple cart. Plan B was that my husband would move up there to take care of her in her old age. When we got married, it ruined all her plans.

Dh talked about us moving up there when he retired. Nope. She would love it if he moved up there, but she didn't want me up there. She's said a few things to try to break us up. A couple times, she's flat out told him she wanted him to come up there for a visit, but not to bring me. She does that to her other son too. Tells him not to bring his wife. When she does that, her other son won't go see her, or he takes his wife anyway. She was so afraid we might move up there when Dh retires, she sold her place to move into a retirement community. She put a single bed in the guest bedroom, so her son could go visit, and stay with her, but not with their wife. Recently, her other son, and his wife moved down here to Florida. Both sons have tried to get her to come down for a visit. She won't even consider it. Nope, they have to go to her. They've both assured her that a mother-in-law cottage was totally possible, or adding on a room for her was an option too. Nope. Not as long as they're married. Now, if either of them want to get divorced, she might consider moving in with them.

That's why the theme of the card rubbed me the wrong way.

I don't know if she knows about the toddler overload. She, and Dh talk, so it's possible. Still, of all the anniversary cards in the store........

I know!

It seems like a joke gone wrong. Is she old enough for dementia and the associated behavior changes?

That is an understandable thought.

She sounds like a lot of work. If she has been like this for her entire life, then it is not dementia!

This does put things in a different perspective. She sounds like an angry, bitter woman.
