    YOU NEED TO MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR OLD PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCENTRATING ON MAINTAINING SOME CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES, AND IT BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT ,SOMETIMES THEY DEVELOPE HABITS WHICH BECOME MORE LIKE ON OBSESSION OF WHICH THEY ARE UNAWARE.

    If the case is that you are too traditional to care for yourself before you care for a family member there is nothing more you can do but tolerate the rantings and exigencies of a woman who is juicing her situation for all it's worth! Elders often take full advantage of their position within the family constellation without the actual right to do so! You, on the other hand, have been totally conditioned into believing yo owe this woman something just because of her position within the family. Just grin, bear it and bite the bullet as to not feel the bulk of her irrational behavior.

    my dad was 80 when he passed and he was the same way towards my mom. dimentia has a lot to do with it. when your mom does this she really doesn't know what she's doing. she doesn't understand what she's doing anymore. not only will she b this way until she passes away she will most likely get even worse and possibly physical towards you. thruthfully other than medication there is nothing you can do to help her except what you are doing.

    to me, the scarriest part was not only the bruises me dad gave my mom when he became physical with her, but the bruises he had himself from everything he walked into, did whatever as blood thinners make little or no bruises look a lot worse than they are and unfortunately in our society today i was afraid my mom would b accused of abuse towards him. i talked with his dr at the time and he stated that if it ever happened that the medical report and his testimony would go a long way in helping end any question.

    good luck and GOD bless.

    Source(s): ashley, if thats the best answer u have towards a person who's taking care of an ill parent, i feel sorry for yours. the Bible stated that parents take care of their kids, and when the time comes the kids take care of the parents, thats what many families and many cultures do...nursing homes are not acceptable in those cultures...yours is not the only culture in the world today, sorry you don't understand that.
  • sorry the best to do is wait it out and try to please her. her attitude is because of her health.
