[quote=Anonymous]At least with teens there is hope it gets better in adulthood. With aging parents it is related to brain changes and sometimes disease. Maybe meds will help for a while or not. We are told to never accept abuse, even if it's not physical, but if your parent has scared off all supports, even hired supports, you don't want to abandon them. Somehow as they shoot verbal bullets at your heart, you have to find the right medication and help and hope they don't have the type of dementia where they can start becoming physically aggressive and hallucinating. You want to protect this person who is making your life hell and you cling to any good memories you had to keep you going.[/quote]
