My mom and I had an argument today. I’ve noticed at the age of 85, she is not as kind or diplomatic as she used to be. She can be downright combative and not listen to reason even when her health and well-being is involved. She is mildly cognitively impaired so I don’t say nearly what I’d like to. Today, she viciously put me down out of nowhere and it hurts to be treated that way by someone who is supposed to have your back. We’re not speaking at this time. I don’t know where we go from here but it can’t continue this way. It’s times like these that I think of moving out and letting them fend for themselves. I wouldn’t do that to my brother though. They both need me. Anyway, it helps to get it out...thanks.
Warm regards to all and hugs to those that are struggling.  |
I am so sad for you going through all this
I can certainly understand your just wanting to stay in bed and escape the world.
Dementia or Alzheimer’s going on? Is your Mom on any medications ? Some meds can cause aggressive hateful actions. Would she be willing to go to the Doctor ??
When do you see M again??maybe just focus on that day, knowing it will perk you up a bit.. do you have a light box?? It might really be helpful, so many report they can’t imagine going without.
When do you see your T next ??
Sending you gentle hugs
