Nite time is a period of time that one cannot control his/her thoughts. It occurred to me that we have followed the cases from only one side of the fence. How do you get and keep a sibling as an enemy of his/her other siblings and a parent? How do you get a child to turn on his/her parent?
In the Sykes case the older daughter had to have some feelings of love for her mother and sister. I've watched families give love and kindness to totally undeserving people and animals. I've watched acts of love and kindness from people who I've though incapable of any humanity. In fact I've seen few people who are totally 'evil!' In my career, I've seen good in just about every one I run across. In fact it is impossible for me to be consistent in 'hating' anyone.
I think about the enemy that I made as a youngster. When I saw him helpless in the water, with his overturned boat and no one going to his aid - I had to go to his aid. Yes, he did not thank me for risking my life to save he and his daughter. Yes, I go pleasure out of doing the 'right thing' even though there was ripple of disapproval from others, and Yes - I did detect envy in my fellows. Why did I do it? It was something built into me and I had no real choice.
Yes, I do expect that if I cared to look even a Jerome Larkin or a Miriam **** has some good in them. Thus, how was Gloria Sykes' sister kept so alien? How could she live with herself and do what she did to Gloria and her mother? How does she face her own daughter?
I have a theory! It is as old as the hills.
Please indulge me:
A friend of mine came to me for help. His mother in law (who had a few dollars in her jeans) has crossed the line. She was being kicked out of her condo because of totally inappropriate behavior - in short she was nuts! She wanted to move into his home, and neither he or his wife could face the prospect. A sheltered care facility for ambulatory seniors was a solution that failed - they wanted her out! What does a loving couple do for a parent who has lost self control? Reasonable accommodation means whomever has responsibility is going to go through hell!
I had no advice for him as I had no solution. All I knew was that he and his family had a problem. I also knew that punting to Catholic Family Service, Jewish Family Service or a similar organization would be a waste of time. I also knew that any facility that would take her would solve the problem by drugging "mother" out of her mind at great pecuniary expense.
My friend confided in others including a judge. The judge recommended ***** one of the attorneys on the NASGA list of corrupt and miscreant attorneys. I warned my friend that he was setting his wife and he up for a wild ride that might wind up with adverse consequences for him.
Last week, another friend sent me a letter she received that revealed yet another dirty little secret and how control is maintained. My friend was honest and would not go along with the program. She is facing the consequences.
AS WE DEMAND HONEST INVESTIGATIONS THE FACTS THAT SOIL OUR REPUTATIONS AND VULNERABILITY ARE NOW COMING OUT. This Sunday morning I will think this scenario out and reveal how control is maintained. (it is 4:33 in the morning= the revelation that I've woken up with is too scary and too simple to be put on paper without additional thought. Unfortunately, it reveals why we are orphans and few are interested in helping us.
