Thanks OpenEyes

That is very sound advice. Strange that the very person who set boundaries in my younger life is totally ignoring them now.

It's Easter weekend here in the UK and we're supposed to be having lunch together on Sunday after my brother has visited Mother. I know how it will be. He'll speak to me, having pandered to her tears before I arrive. Everything will be fine because he's visited, said things she wants to hear but has no intention of acting on. Yet, days or even weeks later, she'll be frustrated again because the jobs aren't getting done. Then we're back to square one....
