My Boomer Tips
I read this article today, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_bs296, the headline was "too old to start over" and I was wondering what the mightly people of YA! thought.
I always joke to my mother about what a useless bunch the baby boomers (her generation) were, how their legacy Crack, AIDS, and such evils as women's lib. Of coarse I was only joking,(i'm female after all.) but this does worry me My mother is in her mid 50's she is hanging on to her job by a thread and her options to get something else are almost non existent these days. She is no were near retirement and she has HEP-C, a new hip, and osteoporosis. She is just among the many of her generation going through this right now.
Is this worrying anyone else? The plight of the baby boomers that is?

Arielle H- don't be upset at my jokes they are sarcastic.
Dottie- my mother didn't raise me. I was raised by her elderly mother, I was raised by the generation before the baby boomers.
Paul N- I totally agree with you! We do reap what we sew. I put myself through college without student loans through hard-very-hard work. I worked 2 jobs 60hours a week and went to school full time, I also helped pay for all of my mom's medical treatments. I also didn't get a single credit card and this year I bought a home before age 25 all of this with no help from my parents.
LOL I meant reap what you sow LOL (sorry i'm breastfeeding, working, and typing all at the same time.)
My Boomer Tips
My grandmother was like a best friend to me.(she's 60)She started smoking crack and she stopped calling me. She stopped caring about me. So I gave up. I was over her.
She called my house sober.
We drove to her house (eight hours). When we went to see her; she wasn't there. She called the next day and said she's show up at the house we were staying in. She came in for 10 seconds,began to cry and scream about how her parents abandoned her,turned around,told us she had to go "pick something up"( we knew what she meant...crack),and left. I asked her not to go.She ran out of the house and screeched out of the drive way.
I never got to say goodbye,give her the gift I bought her,or that I loved her. She never told me she loved me after she pleaded for another chance. I loved her so much! My entire childhood was based around her..and she just crushed it my heart.
I know it could be worse...but I just can't seem to let her go.(even though she let me go)
What should I do?
We tried to get her into rehab,she took our money and our help and did nothing.
She just doesn't care about me anymore. I just can't seem to get over that,or the fact that I can't hold her and tell her love her anymore.
She's basically committing suicide and I don't know how to get over it....

I mean she begged for another chance and I opened up to her again and she crushed me. I love her so much,I feel like she died and I never got to go to the funeral.
I still love her and want her back,but its knowing I'll never have her back and I NEVER got to say goodbye or "i love you" one last time.
After she left My face just hit the table and I started crying. I've been crying..for about 2 weeks now.
GUYS she's not actually DEAD.
She's alive and dying through smoking crack and hurting everyone around her.
