Time Goes On
4 years ago
My grandmother's mental health is starting to show through more and more, as each day passes. Her memory is depleting at an alarming rate, as she's woken up, and asked me what month it is on a few occasions. There's been times when I would come home on a Friday, or Saturday night from hanging out with a friend, and see the gas stove left on, thankfully at a low flame. And more often than not, I've seen her trying to change the TV channel using the cordless phone, rather than the remote. However, she refuses to receive any medical treatment for her condition, and strongly objects to going into a assisted living facility.
My father's mental health, well... I'm sure you all know by now the struggles both I, and my grandmother must endure with his addictions. I did, however, do some legal research on the matter, and was pleased to learn that in the state of Massachusetts, any family member can submit a Section 35 form to the district courts, to have another member evaluated for psychiatric treatment. There's just one problem. My grandmother refuses to sign such a form, as she's afraid my father will lose all sense of reality, thus harming, or even killing himself. I could sign it myself, but I'm sure hers would be required as well.
All I can do at this point, is close my eyes, and go through a spiritual time warp, back to a time when things were more on my level. I would enjoy the days of going to school with a Discman in my hoodie pocket, playing a burned CD, containing tracks by various artists like 3 Doors Down, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Staind, Korn, Disturbed, System of a Down, and many others. Then, after school, I would come home, do some homework, play some Starfox Adventures and Assault, and afterwards sleep the rest of the evening away, so I could catch anime on Adult Swim, such as Outlaw Star, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, and Wolf's Rain. There's not a day that goes by that I wish I could travel back to those days, when life more fresh, and enjoyable.
Then, I open my eyes back up to find myself back in the current situation of everything, and come to terms with the cold, hard fact that time does indeed, go on.
That's about it for now.
Take care all.
