What.  The.  Fuck.  Dad's angry at me because Grandma can't remember when I call her or anything.  And he just said "I just hope you never get old."  I just hope my kids will take better care of me.  There is NOTHING I can do for her.  And quite frankly, since Sue got herself power of attorney, there's not a whole lot Dad can do.  But still.

Asshole.

I'm going to bed.

My gran is just the same. Once she called five times in a week to thank me for a postcard. Another time, she didn't remember that she was supposed to be coming out with us, despite being called the day before to check.
When she's here, we can have the same conversation five times in an hour. She's not quite sure what it is I do - whether I own a bookshop, go to university, work in a bar, or teach biology. She loses track of the years since her husband died. Generally she's just confused about things like that.

Bit of a shame that people end up that way, but it's not easy for anyone to cope with. I find it supremely frustrating talking to her, but I try.

I'm not so angry about Grandma. I talk to her and I do everything I can. I am, however, *supremely* pissed off at Dad and evil bitch his sister for not doing what they can.

Well, I wouldn't say I'm angry, though it can be frustrating sometimes. I do everything that I can, too, but the family get surprisingly nasty when I'm either busy or tired and can't do as much as I'd like to, or can't do what's convenient for them.
*sigh*
Families. Who'd have them?
