[quote=Anonymous]STOP. Breathe. No therapy. Your mother is mentally ill, has been for some time, and is now perhaps in cognitive decline. Therapy cannot help with that. There might medications that could help with anxiety: anxiety often is a trigger of emotional disturbances, on top of whatever background psychiatric disorder she has. But she would need to comply with treatment, and people with her profile often do not comply. You MUST disengage and distance yourself. You cannot help her, OP. For your own sake, you have to grieve the parent you never had and let go. It will get worse and worse until she dies or qualifies for a government nursing home. You are not obligated to come to her aid at any point in time. What you can do is call senior services in her county so she can get whatever help is available when she has mobility issues, etc. [/quote]
