I just had a really nice talk with Tammy. First of all, she told me that last night she really let Mom and Dad both have it. She said at first Dad wouldn’t let her talk to Mom saying, “You’re upset and she’s upset.” Tammy then said that for 34 years Dad’s done nothing but stand back while Ma does her shit. That’s been the case for all 3 of us kids. Tammy said dad said not to go back 34 years which is definitely something my dad would say. However, I know that the past is the past and cannot be changed but sometimes one must bring up the past in order to make peace and deal with the present and the future. Mom and dad can’t seem to understand this.

The shocking thing about it all is that Tammy said that dad did say he felt bad, ashamed and embarrassed by what he’s done. Usually, if I’ve ever bitched about mom to him he gets pretty agitated and defensive of her. Tammy said she said to mom, “The bottom line is you see the moon and I see the sun. We can never agree on anything and you always go back and forth and are too contradicting.”

That is absolutely true, although Tammy herself has done the same thing. Not as much anymore as we had a discussion about that. Also about not taking me for face value. I told her that if there’s something I’m not sure about, I’d tell her so, but I’d never purposely mislead or BS her. There’s no point or need for either one of us to do that in this day and age.

She mentioned the prescription Habitrol which costs $129. I owe her $35 and will not get my medical cards for a while. I called Genovese and asked the price of the partial cost which is $50. I told her to get a prescription for it from her doctor and I’d pay my half and her half cuz I owe her money anyway. Then, when we can both afford the other half we can get it as the druggist keeps it on record that they owe you more meds. Then when I get my CT medical cards in 5 billion years, I can get it free of charge as I have the prescription here in my pocketbook. I will share that with her.
