[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume your dad goes along to get along/survive? I had to eventually hire a geriatric case worker. I stay out of it and just call her. Mom behaved better for her and she is trained to work with these sorts of things.

Mom is still mom-stubborn, difficult and anxious, but this woman can convince her to much needed tests and yes, even an Xray when mom broke her arm. She also has contacts to have doctors come to mom when needed. Aides come to help her fix meals and bathe. [b]It takes out all the dysfunctional dynamics of treating me like a disobedient child while she acts like a hostile teen and wants me to parent her, but she also wants me to be subservient and be a pacifier to all her anxieties.[/b] Most importantly, I can make sure she is getting decent care.[/quote]

I don't think I've ever seen this dynamic described so accurately as you have here. My mother is also in her hostile teen era and I'm absolutely at my wits end. Somehow your description is helping me understand things a little better.[/quote]
