[quote=Anonymous]My mom has gotten even nastier with age, but she was always mildly abusive before. The part of the brain that had the ounce of empathy probably got damaged with the stroke (in my non-clinical opinion). Are you related to this person? If so, I would seriously look at whether there is money to outsource this or what is available to this person within their financial means. It only gets worse, especially if you can't medicate the nastiness well. If you aren't related, can you take another case and allow someone who deals better with difficult people to take this on. The one time I gave it right back to my mother verbally, not abusive and no name-calling like does, just stating facts and setting boundaries she fell apart and then raged at me in such a way I though I was in physical danger. That's when I realized this could turn into a volatile situation and I needed to manage from a distance. She behaves better for others and is medicated, but still I set off abuse if I go near her. Better for the person to be cared for by someone who isn't triggered and who can set firm boundaries. Mom is still capable of behaving with strangers who don't take shit.[/quote]
