[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, she is right. Look, I have a mom in AL, and I visit her on my schedule, not when she wants. Once a week is not enough, every other day is too much. For me, it works out to about every 5 days. She is hypercritical, never know what you're going to get on any visit. However, this is your mom, and be thankful she doesn't live with you! Be gracious.[/quote]

No. I think for too long we have given women, it's always women, the message that they should accept abuse with a smile. It's OK for someone to manipulate you and insult you because sheees family, so just shut up, be meek, slap a smile on your face and do your job! Nope. You have a right to have boundaries. Nobody is allowed to demean you, not even your mom. You don't need to visit her more or less. You need to find your own comfort zone and figure out your own boundaries. I have no more tolerance for the disturbing messages that excuse horrible behavior. Even if it's dementia talking, then you can medicate the abusive behavior, not into a zombie, but into a human who isn't a monster.[/quote]
