hard day

well
maybe you remember that I called her yesterday 
& told her she needed to call all those people 
& make sure they had her phone number 

well
today they were calling me 
& I gave them her number 

BUT 
I went to her apartment to take her her stuff
PLUS I wasn't sure if her walker was in the car 

I KNEW 
when they called 
she had not abandoned her plan

her plan was to try to force me to be her caregiver by a fait accomplis
which is WHY 
I refused to 
HELP

BUT 
she didn't need to get their number 
because she never intended to use their service 

SO
I took in her stuff 
& I could tell she was there because her lights were different 
SO
I was calling out to her that I was dropping off stuff 
& she's LIKE 
I can't hear you
SO
I went into her bedroom 
& she was on the 
FLOOR 

I TOLD her the stuff again 
& then turned to LEAVE 

DON'T YOU WALK AWAY from ME

I can't lift you
& your phone is in your hand

NOW
she didn't say anything to me when I talked on speaker phone with the case worker 
she didn't call or text
& she didn't call or text whenever she got on the FLOOR 

she's didn't call out when I opened the door
& she didn't say anything about it 
she just called out to me
that she couldn't hear me

I don't think she was on the FLOOR until she heard me come in
& I don't think 
DON'T WALK AWAY from ME
is the tone you use when
you are hoping to get help
are relieved to SEE someone 

WHY NOT 
I asked 

we have to talk

WHAT do we have to talk ABOUT 

well money for one thing

NO, I say, I don't want to talk about money

I TOLD you 
I was trying to HEAL our relationship 
I TOLD you
I wasn't going to BE your caregiver 

I tried for FIVE YEARS and I'm DONE 

there is NO healing our relationship 

YOU made it CLEAR that 

I am not allowed to have boundaries 
the ONLY thing I am allowed to do 
is be your SLAVE 

I TOLD you I was trying to heal our relationship and you were SO HORRIBLE to me
gaslighting and manipulating 

if I come up with a way to keep you safe
you WON'T co-operate 
I DON'T NEED clarification 

I didn't think it was safe for you to be here
I WANTED you to go to an assisted living situation where you would be SAFE 
& YOU chose to come HERE 

call 911
or call the home health care
I can't lift you
& I said I wasn't going to have anything to do with it 

I don't know WHY your here

at no point 
did she ask for help 
at no point did she seem in distress 

it seemed super FAKE 
& she hasn't texted or called since either
I DID make sure she had the home health number

I don't know what she expected 
BUT 
I don't think it was any of THAT 

& I really KNEW 
this was going to be
HARDCORE manipulation when I had the dream 
I KNEW she would do THIS 
BUT 
I tried to make it as HARD as possible 


there was NO middle ground
