[quote=Anonymous]OP I totally get it and have reported some of these posts. It will be telling how that is handled. If a child reported to a teacher that mom was even verbally abusive on a regular basis, the teacher would be require to consult CPS. Yet, as adults many of us caregivers face unspeakable verbal, emotional and sometimes even physical abuse and too often people say "have grace" or something else that basically is telling you that your well-being doesn't matter. The abuser is more important. It's gaslighting. You haven't mentioned if there is dementia, but that adds a whole other layer. I will write more soon, but I encourage more people to report any poster who adds to the abuse. None of us deserve to have our elderly mothers throw tirades at us.The comment that we too will be old one day if lucky is particularly obnoxious given the high rate of abused caregivers who die before those they are caring for.[/quote]
