[quote=Anonymous]You do not have to take this abuse, you really don’t - esp if dementia is not involved. Treat her like a toddler. Have hard lines, tell her that her comments or approach is inappropriate and block her for a few days / weeks (obviously not the true approach that you would take with a toddler). She does this because she knows that she can get away with it. When you un-block her or Interact with her again, tell her what you will or will not accept, what will be the consequences of her behavior, and follow through if she verbally/ emotionally abuses you again. Repeat until she gets the message. It will take a while before she knows that you’re serious. If she doesn’t, know that you are an adult, you do not have to accept toxic behavior from anyone, parent or not.[/quote]
