Well, that certainly makes sense. I just cant get over the feeling of dread where it concerns my mother's aging. I dont want to help her. She has deliberately sabotaged her life and refuses to ever consider the consequences. So, intellectually I know I should just leave well enough alone. But, I have always had an overdeveloped sense of responsibilty towards her and my sisters. I am the eldest daughter after all.
Plus I cant help but think in some ways that perhaps I am over reacting. Maybe things werent that bad. Maybe I am just overly sensitive. It doesnt help that she has extreme narcissistic tendencies. People just dont SEE the subtle abuse, neglect, lack of real empathy, etc.
