[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its like when you're raising children - you don't take the bad stuff personally, so the looks and tantrums, just move past them and keep doing what you're doing. I think you're doing great.[/quote] Having been through it, I disagree. With your kids they are learning to manage emotions and you see improvements and you commend it. With an elderly parent it gets worse and worse and you really can't move past it sometimes. In fact, sometimes it escalates despite your best efforts. I would explore long term solutions where you can be in her life and be at your best, but escape when things get dicey and know she is in good hands.[/quote]
