[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is outsourcing care a possibility?

My family has had a + experience with Visiting Angels as home health aides.

Does the person have any home PT assigned or a visiting nurse? Those, unlike a home health aide, are covered by Medicare.

You may want to reach out to their neurologist and express concern re: the behaviors. Perhaps they can be medicated in a different way that may help? [/quote]

All of these are great suggestions for OP.

I went the empathy route and people suggestion "experts" like Teepa Snow, but after enough time I think all of that was brainwashing me into accepting abusive behavior and feeling guilty for hating every second. If this is a family member, better to get distance and easier for strangers to use techniques. Then when you visit you can hold it together and be pleasant for a short period of time. If it's a charge, just request a new one. The risk you have to keep in mind when someone is nasty to you is the risk you could at some point lose it and be nasty back and then it can cross into abuse. When I had an ill spouse and my own illness, I would tell her off right back and that wasn't good for either of us. I had to back away and outsource everything. Just my face makes her want to hurl insults.[/quote]
