Gary's grandad refused to stop driving and gary's dad took something off the car so it wouldn't start and then refused to fix it.

Janet I think you can go to the dept of public safety and tell them her driving history. Laws differ in different states, but in Texas they can intervene when someone refuses to stop driving.

Oh my! If it isn't one thing with Mom, it's another! My heart goes out to you, Janet!

My mother was the same way, and truthfully, looking back, I'm glad she got to live her life to the fullest. We couldn't have stopped her either, and she also put us through tons of stress!

Hang in there!~

Sneaky Sneaky but not a bad idea

I know she wants to live her life to the fullest but in this case other drivers or pedestrian are at risk

Oh, Janet, you poor girl!! Your dear Mother is going to put you in an early grave!!! Do they make bumper pads that can go on all four corners of a car? Maybe you should check into that!!! I know how fustrated you are with her........just remember that your days with her are lessening all the time and that one day you'll look back and wish that you still had these issues to deal with again. Find a bright side and give your Mom a hug!!! Then let your brothers deal with the aftermath!!!!! LOL

Oh I know our time is getting shorter and shorter so I'm trying to just not let it get to me too bad. I did hug her...she just cried and cried. I felt so bad for her. She was embarassed to drive it to church today so she drove her old car. Tonight my older brother will pick her up to take her to his house for a cookout for his birthday. She's looking forward to that.

I'm glad she's atleast letting others drive her to places.

I think you need a BIG cyber hug too. XOXO
