I feel sad for my mother, and guilty. She has decompensated into a severely openly angry, toxic person. She’s very elderly, so I excuse and forgive her. She’s very ill. I feel guilty because she wanted me to be her rescuer, and I couldn’t do it. Much of this is contrarian and convoluted as to what she actually wanted from me. Her wishes were only expressed in passive aggressive ways, so I am not really sure what she wanted anyway. But, the idea I should feel guilty has come across loud and clear.

She is being so antagonistic I am honestly afraid someone will hurt her.
