Does anyone else feel tortured by their elderly parent? Does it seem like no matter what you do, it's never enough? Are you cussed at, ridiculed, belittled, put down......no matter what you do? Are you at wits end? Does you elderly parent always say to you....."just wait until you get my age and we'll see how you like it". I've said it before and I'll repeat it.......I would not wish caregiving onto my worst enemy! Comments?
No matter what I do for her, forget it. She just keeps on SCREAMING OR HOLLERING. I have videos & witnesses up & down this block. Again this happened & Im so sick & tired of her lies,etc. It happens EVERYDAY THO!!!!
Her response about the senior center? "I don't want to meet people." Meanwhile, she talks to anyone who will listen to her when we are at the store, etc. I don't know why I allow this to bother me so much....I know my mom won't change.......but it does...... :0
What would happen if you just laid down the law? Just said "That's enough. If you continue speaking to me like that, I'll walk. You'll have to take care of yourself."
