[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved my mom kicking and screaming. I did not like the place my brother chose but I was overruled. Now I get seriously 50 calls a day of complaining. Going home is a no go. She need medical supervision as she doesn't like medicine and it is necessary. What to do? I feel so guilty but I know she cannot live on her own. My brothers just block her calls and go on with life. I am exhausted and drive up and back once a week to see her (three hours each way).  She is not trying to make friends. Just complains. Other people in this situation and what to do? Living with me not an option for my own sanity as is moving her here.[/quote]

You need to do what your brothers do: block her calls when you need a break. Visit her when you feel you can tolerate her complaining. [/quote]

This. Do not answer. You see her on the weekends. If you like, you can set up a time every day that you will call her. 
Remember, on airplanes you put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others. You can't help her if you're not taking care of yourself.  Setting boundaries IS about helping her. [/quote]
