[quote=Anonymous]I would put up with this and reassure mom years ago, but I am so burned out and have dealt with enough truly awful behavior from her (think tantrums) that I only am in her life because I feel obligation, but it's with major boundaries. I no longer give her what she wants. If she cancels I ignore the reason and the attention getting behavior and I calmly say, "no problem." If she she tries to engage I make an excuse to leave. If she calls back and says come I do not answer. If she tries to punish me with silent treatment I enjoy the break. I no longer like my mother. I have lost respect for her after many incidents which sadly for her are not explained by dementia. I had to face she is just a self involved entitled person. She could care less about all the stress I have in my life and I am a pawn. She refuses to get mental health help and I will not enable her to be a jerk.[/quote]
