CNBC correspondent muses on Trump's mental health: 'He did not look well to me'

Continued...

"Ronald Reagan and Wyman, who were married from 1942 to 1948, had another child in addition to Maureen: an adopted son, Michael, now a radio talk show host in San Diego. After Patti, Reagan and Nancy had a son, Ronald, a ballet dancer turned television correspondent.

"There was closeness, mostly when the kids were younger," said Wendy Weber, Patti's roommate at the University of Southern California and a former White House aide to Nancy Reagan. "But as adults, it was different. They spread their wings and showed their independence a little bit more. Maybe that's when the troubles really started."

Maureen said she and her brother were kept at arm's length from Nancy and the other two Reagan children for years. Patti was 7 before she was told of her sister, Maureen. When she was 26, Maureen said she read an official biography of Reagan that said he had "two children, Patti and Ronnie."

Reagan did not attend his son Michael's wedding, going to Tricia Nixon's that day instead. According to Michael, the standard holiday invitation from Ronald and Nancy Reagan was "Come at 5 and be gone by 7."

So in other words, they were good parents. But when the children became adults they were more devoted to each other than to the kids? Oh the horror!

I always maintained no two people were the same. It is you who claimed otherwise. I am sure Owl is not bothered by your opinions, and neither am I, in fact, I wear it as a badge. I obviously affect you enough you have to keep mentioning it. :)

The above is correct. My grandmother went through it over the course of ten years, slowly regressing backwards in time if you will (she thought it was the 80's, then 70's etc...). One of my clients went over the cliff quickly within six months on a mental basis... reverted to a childlike manner. We simply do not comprehend the workings of the brain enough to try to lump all cases together. So many different things can go wrong and each individual may progress down a wide variety of paths.

Well said. There are several types of dementia; the course of the disease runs differently for different people, as you noted.

Sometimes ppl get to virtue-signalling by putting down others for having placed a loved one in a nursing facility, because "*I* took care of MY mom in our home." Whatever. Everyone's situation is different too; some are capable of providing the intensive 24-hour care needed for dementia patients, and have a great support system nearby. Others, not so much. My brother-in-law/his wife had a great support system nearby, including a daughter-in-law who is a certified nursing assistant, and they still could not handle the behaviors and needs of our MIL. Thankfully they are a great family and no one shamed them at all for the decision to have her cared for by professional staff; just the opposite.

Ronald Reagan was touted as an avatar of morality and of family values.

But he cheated on his first wife and got his second wife pregnant before she became his second wife.

He and Nancy raised their families in such a dysfunctional way that two of them wrote books excoriating their parents for being the poor parents they were.

That is something you Reagan fans have simply got to live with.

It seems so, my husband doesn’t ask for recognigition of his service, but he is appreciative when other acknowledge it. He’s very humble about it in fact, most of the family does not know he is a highly decorated veteran. My brother in law a Retired Colonel didn’t know and encouraged him to tell the family. He declined.
 
How awesome! The Domestic Goddess Coven Club is gathering together to ask for a blessing......couldn't happen to a more deserving group of gals....
(Wait until the new ones find out what the "initiation" is, though;)

“At what point does age effect memory 60, 70, 80, 90? No if you have ever been around someone close you recognize the onset rather quickly. But then like Bowel you are an expert on the subject so I am preaching to the choir.”

This implies everyone is the same, as does your statement that you took care of your father and Owl should have taken care of her mother in law.

My responses to you imply that everyone’s different.

Your response now is "everyone's different" but you were very specific that memory loss comes with age so all I ask is you back up your claim. Now if you had said some people's memory is effected by age I would agree. So which is it?

Months ago? More like 3 days! Here is my asking you if you will thank me for mine. https://www.justplainpolitics.com/s...rior-Eagles-To-Stuff-It/page12&highlight=craw Post 169.


I'm not saying you didn't, I would just like to see how you phrased it.

I said, thank you for your service, that’s how I phrased it, short and sweet, like myself.

Oh, dear, you claim I follow all your posts, but I missed that one, spent the last two weeks with my visiting Alaska family and was here off and on, not reading everything.

Again, you arrived here in 2017, I thanked you then.

I don’t hate soldiers or guns. I hate war and the ridiculous reasons humans fight them.
