Chino is so right. You can't change anyone else. My parents are 88 & my Mom is obsessed with my oldest AS. She drives everyone crazy with it & it really upsets my younger son. My AS will be 42 in Sept & the things he has done to hurt this family are beyond belief YET my Mom STILL makes excuses for him. It does want to make one throw up!
Know its not you & look to your HP for the emotional support you are trying so hard to get from your mother.
Love,
Diane
