[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to talk to my now 90-year-old mother two to three times per week. Since the dementia got worse and she's in memory care, I have this horrible block, like I just can't bring myself to call her. It's awful. I speak to her now once every other week or so, at best. I feel awful about it, but I despise talking to her so much that I just can't bring myself to do it. Like right now, I should call her. I haven't spoken to her since Thanksgiving. The only other immediate relative we have left is my sister. And she's a horrible person, but calls my mom still multiple times a week, then complains to me endlessly about it. Believe it or not, we lost our other three siblings over the course of ten years when they were in their 40s and my dad died three years ago. As my adult children, my son would never call me unless he needs something and is planning to visit--though he suprised me for my birthday this year, and we text a couple times a week. My daughter calls me several times a week and we text daily. They're just out of college, though, so we'll see what happens when they have families of their own, if ever.[/quote]

Hugs. It’s definitely more difficult to call older parents even if there are family issues. [/quote]
