Insane is the new Sane

I'm not really sure how coherent this video is. I have had a serious lack of sleep these days. I'm sure I've left out so much of what's really been going on. And if I jumped around too much from subject to subject, I apologize.

Anyway, this is a response, of sorts to premed2's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t369g-5qdvU He and I seem to be going through a lot of the same shit. Though I must admit, his situation is far worse. I really don't know if I could do it.

My parents worked hard all their lives and have little to nothing to show for it. While they aren't out on the street, yet, they could be if we don't get shit together. I never realized how bad their financial situation really was/is. My mom had to pull some crazy shit to make sure everything got paid on time, but she always managed. The major problem is, she ended up getting screwed down the river by some greedy, corporate fuckers. Us children are now trying to fix all of that. I'd rather be spending some quality time with my mom in her last days, rather than setting up benefits, talking to financial counselors, lawyers and all the other shit I've been doing. But as Rich (premed2) says, it's necessary.

Doesn't sound too heartless. Sounds like a heart in an awfully hard position.

If you need an ear, or such like, you know where to contact me right?

My mum is having a really really hard time with her sisters right now, both ill, both with hoarding tendencies. It's really though on her, I can't imagine how tough it is one you right now.

Keep your chin up my friend.

@TheBoyFromNorfolk If I could get the time to get on skype or anything, that would be great.

I hope your mom is taking care of herself through all of it. 

[astrolabe1976]

my heart goes out to you and your struggle. seems that more than heaven allows that you have to take care of both your dad and your mom, along with all the other things that have a ripple effect from their illnesses. SUPPORT!

[tattooskin72]

@astrolabe1976 thanks... happy that you've been here from the start.

I feel for you. I can say quite categorically having lost both it's far harder to lose your mother, and anyone I know in a similar situation has felt the same. I could speculate about the reasons but I don't think that's pertinent here. I can relate about parental control freakery. It took me literally a years hard labour to sort through my mothers house which was filled with every last thing she couldn't let go of, which included anything that came into the house. Used envleopes, brochures (m

@Loreleila My dad appears to be the "hoarder". He's even got an old car sitting out in the garage that he won't let us sell.

The hardest part with my mom is that she always handled the finances. I don't know how she managed to handle all of this!

I have actually watched my grandmother surrender her control, especially since my grandfather died earlier in the year. It's so strange because, she, like my mom, has always been a powerful force.

Hey from the first words I felt that you deserved all my support. That doesnt mean SHIT in carnal reality, but at least you know that a Spanish young guy nicknamed SporadicTroll sympathizes with you and likes your way to talk and think.

And I would love to have such a good relation with my parents that we can live together. As far as it seems nowadays, I cant live much more time with them, but also neither live without family.

In any case, good luck and I am enjoying your videos ;)

@4:11 Thank you, michael.

A criticism of the 99% though: As a supporter of both this movement and the zeitgeist movement, I must say that I really don't think the protesters have a full understanding of the true problem as they're allowing the law to evict them, The legal system is simply corruption management and when I hear on TV about the evictions, I get a sick feeling in my head because this movement is hope for me.

This is my input.

[detr1mentalist]

not to sound like a nutcase but my personal theory as to why the west looks down on adults living with parents is because it ruins the 'ideal' of striving to own property, taking out morgages and living out the capitalist dream.

the state wants us to believe that money and success is more important then family.

good to see you again too!

[rriverstone1]

I'm new to your channel and don't know you. You ARE a very strong person. Get the support you need FOR YOU, so you can endure this challenge. You have my total support

I just went through the cancer thing with my friend of 13 years. He passed away on 10/20/11.

@tattooskin72 The conservatives aren't really conservatives. Their ideas about keeping us so poor (by not "penalizing the rich for being rich") that people have to move hundreds of miles away to find decent work and both parents have to get full time jobs is the biggest factor that's destroying families and family values. So, even if you are a conservative, you're not one of those conservatives. We should seriously go on the offensive against them for their claiming of that word.
