Cuddles, I feel for you. What an ordeal, and how painful it must be to hear your mom say those things. My 55 year old brother was diagnosed with emphysema about a month ago (thus this quit for me, it was the last straw for me and my family's history of smoking related diseases). My sister and I, who have been the caretakers of this family for years, told my brother we would do anything for him, but if he chose to continue smoking, he was on his own. I know that sounds tough, but we knew unless we were committed, he would not take us seriously. So far, so good. I know that we all are "one puff away from a pack a day" so I'll have to deal with his decisions on a day to day basis. We can't make other people's decisions for them, no matter how much we want to. I wish there was something we could do for you, Cuddles, but we are here, please come and talk about it, and unload. Just don't smoke!!!
