[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 52513, member: 1"] She has always been snippy, aggressive, and narcissistic but she seems like she is in denial of her own age too. It is just a lot of things being made worse by the fact that she is forgetting things now and blaming everyone and everything else. I was having a conversation on the phone with her the other day and in the middle of it, she started bringing up my aunt without any context and I don't even think she realized she did it and then got pissed at me over it. I know as people get older, memory isn't the same but between her stressing over every little thing, not sleeping good, and finding everything under the sun to complain about it is doing her no favors. She just don't want to listen to anything I have to say either when it comes to helping her. She still babies my brother too which drives me nuts cause he talks down to her and treats her like crap and won't help out with anything but I am public enemy number one. I joke with Jay that she likes him more than me but I really think she does at this point. lol I really don't want it to be a cognitive issue cause I saw what happened to my grandpa but I know catching it earlier, a lot can be helped. My nana never got bad. She was forgetful but she knew who everyone was and still had decent memory. Her issues were more so in her body than in her mind. If she was physically healthy, she would have never needed assisted living. My grandpa didn't know who we were most of the time and became a vegetable. It was sad. I don't know how you deal with all the stress of everything. You really need to give yourself a lot of credit for it, taking care of your mother. I don't think I could manage if my mom got bad. I have a hard enough time with her now. She really knows how to get under my skin and make me feel worthless. [/QUOTE]
