Re: This Week's Encounters with Legalism
"I had some of those same thoughts about the situation, Margie.
I can't imagine dropping contact with my Mother just because of her
supposed "legalistic tendencies"? At least that's what I gathered as his
reasoning for leaving her alone?? good heavens"
Well, but that discounts the power a mother has over a son,
and if the mother is getting pneumonia, I'd say that he may be justified
in staying away. This might seem harsh, but it is often the kindest way
for the son to honor their parent. But then, pneumonia is a sign to me,
like the one shoe off thing. Double-check this, but I think that is a sign of
"unprepared to go."
