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.
