My not so DD I informed me last night via a text message that she doesn't want to attend the only freaking college she applied to. This was her dream school and they offered her a full tuition scholarship. I want to cry or scream. Not sure which.

Today is DD's wedding day. She converted to the Mormon faith and is having a temple wedding. We can't see her wedding as we are not Mormon. We aren't the first parents to go through this but it is hard. Wait...so just because you're not Mormon you can not step foot in a temple for your own DDs wedding?! That's crazy and honestly I would have issues with my DD joining a religion that would forbid her own family to go to the wedding. I'm really sorry about this and I feel so awful for you.

it's been 3 weeks since we stipulated for a settlement on my MIL's conservatorship action. Our 1 thing to do was take her for a driving test (she has a suspended license). We called, tried to make appointment, and was told that window has closed. Instead she's to go to a hearing with an attorney to try and get her license back. That was beyond our scope. We notified our attorney and said per Calif law, she won't pass because "moderate dementia" means no license. Cop friend confirmed she refused delivery of revokement notice (which doesn't matter as the clock still ticks on). Her court appointed piece of crap said he wants doctor to notify the DMV. We told our attorney "why do you think it was suspended in the first place". We've had to throw our hands up - even the Sheriff's office won't help. Their response to my call was "well, dear, lots of people drive with suspended licenses, what do you want us to do about her". So if you hear a lady in San Diego crashing thru some business window or person, we have tried to prevent it, but no one, including law enforcement will help. And if we take her keys and/or car, we will be charged with stealing. The attorneys are supposed to have power of attorney signed along with a care giver going into the home. Nope, nothing. Moving out of state has now moved to our priority list. We're thinking now of just calling adult protective services and letting them handle it. Can you call the news? Tell them how the state is treating this?

So freaking ticked! I make all appointments, make sure kids get there, ask about homework, fought to get DS an IEP etc... DH does none of this. Last week DS left for day and forgot about behind the wheel course. I got the blame. Why do u have to remember for everyone else. Now tonight I am picking up for company tomorrow. There were two bags hanging on basement door for months. MONTHS. According to my DH they were put there today. Today when no one was home. I threw them out. Then put DS bag of crap he bought today on the door. DH still insisting that they were put in the door today. Then DS comes up and says he put his bag on the door tonight. I know it is petty and stupid, but it was followed by DH saying sarcastically that he isn't going to argue about it, and reminded me that I do everything and he does nothing. I am just ticked. I make all appointments and was the one to get my sons the help at school, all with complaining that I forgot to remind them. I am done.

We are trapped in a damned if you do, damned if you don't place. This IS the system and as most systems, because they wanted to protect seniors, they have gone way overboard. All we are told to do is wait. And now the passive-aggressive 2nd guessing if we're doing enough has started from family who live 1000s of miles away.
