My aunt left word in both messages that she wanted to talk about my father's health, still no response.

I haven't spoken to my dad since Thanksgiving. He should be starting to settle in FL by now. I'm going to give him a call tomorrow to see how he's doing. I don't know how much talking he'll do since when they're down there there's often not much physical separation between the two of them.

Every time I think about the possibility of having to exchange words with that ***** it makes me feel physically ill. I don't want to expose myself to that, but the issue is too important to be dismissed or delayed...
I never thought of email, Mari. Thank you. I think it's probably the best route to take. I can easily get my hands on her email address.

I just hope she will do what she can to help him, and restrict any communication to that and that alone.
