And it is probably worth talking about this with your doctor as well. If she does need medical help, you're not in the position to do much about her...And since you suspect that indeed she is mentally unwell, I would say try not to hate her..! It might give you some peace to think that it's not herself, which she probably isn't, and deal with her with that in mind, avoiding conflict when you can, and not getting engrossed in the arguments..
I hope things get better soon and sorry I couldn't come up with any better advice! |
I have talked about this with my grandmother and my husband but my husband is the main target of her aggression so he doesnt really like talking about it. My grandmother agrees with me but she just says that my mother has always been this way and that no ones going to change her. I am going to try to distance myself from her by not contacting her for at least two weeks. But I know that when I do get in contact with her again, that things wont get any better. She will just find something else to be mad at me about. She does this to my brothers also. She refuses to see that there is anything wrong with what she is doing and im on my last leg with her.
