The Anon skills work wonders. My MIL could be the same from time to time and by looking at her moods as if they were drug or alcohol caused issues, I was able to get through the day. Some days were tough but all days I made it through. Just realizing why and where her mood swings could be coming from, I was able to accept or side step 99% of it.
the 1%... I would go away for a weekend or out to dinner then come home with a icecream sunday for her. Icecream with chocolate calms the wild beast *LOL*
A bribe? maybe but for $2 and it worked...it was well worth it *LOL*
