[quote=Anonymous] If she's not living with you, you must ignore most of her attempts to call. She's clearly not in her right mind, which is a common part of the aging process. You can accompany her to the doctor (after the pandemic ends, I suppose) and broach that topic. There are several dementias and disorders she could potentially be diagnosed with. You can tell the family members to shove off. If you have tasked yourself with helping her get around and other eldercare things, you can try your best to tune out her crap and cut in with questions that need answers: "MOM! What time is your appointment with Dr. X? 10:30 on Tuesday? I'll come at 10 to pick you up. Bye!" And then she rants in the car, and you say "hm-mm", "sure" , "yeah, I know", "seriously", all the while composing your weekly menu in your head. [/quote]
