[quote=Anonymous]Mom is mid 60s, relative good health. She has been widowed a few years. My father was abusive and controlling. My mom became isolated after she came to US some 30 years ago, and has no friends and social life. She had a job before that was her only socal outlet, but got fired after 16 years.  I am an only child and she moved close to me after my father died and she got fired. My family are her only interaction, and I have to take care of everything financial and healtcare related for her, and I find it suffocating. She is passive aggressive and anxious. Insists on doing things that involve unnecessary risks.  She went out last year right after snow storm to go grocery shop when she had plenty of groceries, and broke her wrist in a fall, didn't say anything for a day until I found out and was still insisting it was just a sprain. She doesn't drive and walks over to my house in 90+ weather after I told her I will pick her up.  Latest is insisting on mowing her own lawn after DH bought a mower to mow her lawn for her. She has never mowed in her life, not strong enough to control the mower, and has poor eye sight. Now she is saying not letting her learn to mow is making her feel like she is just waiting to die. I am tired of dealing with her,  but don't know what to do. [/quote]
