[quote=Anonymous]Over the last few years my Mother (73) has had some health issues and needed several surgeries. During this time she got a "woe is me" attitude, gotten mean, withdrawn from friends/family. She takes a lot out on my father who is her caretaker at this point. He is an eternal optimist but even he is getting worn down from her. Her health is at a stable place finally but her attitude hasn't changed (like she kept saying it would). She jumps down my Dad's throat when he mentions talking to the doctor about meds for her mood. It's hard to see her not care about things she used to, like talking to grandkids, gardening, socializing, traveling. All she wants to do is read books and watch TV. I feel like she is giving up on living and taking my Dad with her because she's so dependent on him. Is there anything we can say?[/quote]
