Sep. 2nd, 2004 03:08 pmThe phone call that woke me up first thing this morning was my stepmother calling to let me know that my nan tried to kill herself last night.
And the thing is, she didn't do it because her Parkinson's is so bad, but because she and George had a fight and she wanted attention...no one likes George and they don't care if they fight.
So she took a lot of pills but made sure to do it when my cousin Amanda was spending the night. It was also my cousin Nina's 14th birthday.
I'm so, so sorry for Amanda, who is only 18 and had to find her grandmother lying next to an empty pillbottle.
I'm sad and upset and worried and so, so useless...I feel like if I were there I could have prevented it but I'm selfishly all the way across the country. And I'm so mad at her for doing this to everyone, but especially to the girls. Imagine the damage if she had succeeded.
I think I ought to be off work now.
