Thanks for the affirmations that what I am feeling is "normal". The nursing home doesn't do personal laundry, such as her nightgowns. It needs to be done about once a week. In my head I have a plan that I will go do it and visit, but set the boundaries with her. She is and has been on many meds. Some she chooses to take others she doesn't. No clue to as why she picks and chooses. She is alert and oriented, but has some short term memory issues that she denies having.
She is my mother. In my own way I love her and I know she loves me. I just don't like her.
Thanks for letting me vent. I probably will need your ears over the next few weeks!!
