She doesn't really seem incapable, just incredibly abrasive. I don't know how many assisted living places would take her, if she'd even agree to go.

If they didn't reprint that in 1987 when Hess died for real, it'd be a drat shame.

For ages, I used to get Rudolf Hess and Rudolf Höss mixed up; I'd be reading about the latter acting as commandant in Auschwitz and be thinking 'I thought he was in jail in the UK by then?' - what can I say, I was not very smart.

But, in exchange, something that is better than Nazis - Blueberry! - but... before I begin as usual, I have to add a little pre-amble because, after three years of posting and translating... this is it. This is the last book; unless I can get my hands on the young Blueberry adventures. There is actually one more... but since it is just a version of Blueberry's story to Campbell, edited so as to have no flash-forwards to Tombstone I won't be posting that - there'd be no point (it tells the exact same story, just with some extra panels so as to have it fit pages better).

It's not good-bye yet... but it will be coming up soon. So, today - Blueberry going for the anti-Michael Jackson appearance, or Campbell's had enough of this wicky-wicky-wild-wild West, or Tension... broken?

I don't recall the circumstances behind why Sally's mom had to live with Jackie to begin with but I feel like there's not enough money or resources at anyone's disposal to just "put her in a home" or more optimistically set her up with a place of her own.

Having gone through five years of home care for my mother (dementia) I can tell you that, in eastern PA at least, it costs $5000-$6000/month for a decent place. And by decent, she wouldn't have been abused or neglected unto death.

That's if she was willing to go, which she was not. Unless you have power of attorney, you can't force an aging parent into a home, and only a monster would do that.

It is a very, very difficult situation, even without dementia.

I hope your mom wasn't being an active piece of poo poo to you like their mom is to them, though.
I'm advocating throwing her into a volcano, because holy loving poo poo, this woman. Yes, you should try to take care of your parents, but there comes a point where you need to tell mom "Okay, we've had enough of your poo poo- get the gently caress out", even if it puts her on the streets because she has alienated literally everyone else who could have taken her in.
