It sounds like she needs you there. It also sounds like you need to be there for the time being.

People do not change easily. From what I have read she is not one for being open and working on herself.

Keep talking about it. There has to be some kind of tools out there for adult children who care for their senior parents? A book of "tools" or some kind of resources for navigating through. This is not the first I have heard of how difficult it can be to care for an elderly person. Is she in pain? Good question, Dee. Is there something else going awry like with meds? Sending you strength and calm.

No, she doesn't have any physical health ailments that cause pain (that we're aware of, she is not the type to postpone visiting a doctor, I am 99% confident she would tell someone if she did have an ailment) and isn't even on any regular medication. It's basically due to resentment against me because I am living there. To clarify, I am not her carer, I do help out with chores obviously.

Today, I installed new printer cartridges for her printer, which went a bit better than yesterday, though she still managed to have a go at me over something too trivial to even put down here.
