8. My mom is very healthy

but she hasn't let go of anything in the way of projects on this ranch. So, she is under a lot of stress all the time. She had been approved to refinance just before the crash and then, her loan was never funded so, to be fair, she's just been trying to hang on.

But on the other hand, it's too much for her and she won't let me take over any part of it even though I have experience doing exactly that. She mostly acts as if I'm her enemy when she's stressed out. It's paranoia and so sad because of anyone on this planet, she can trust me to look out for her.

I need to get to her to a doctor and before that, need to make sure the doctor is competent. Tag!
