[quote=Anonymous]I read an excellent book on this topic and might check out this Oprah show. Thanks for sharing this. My mother is abusive. After she got dementia, the abuse stopped. Even before that, she was a tiny bit better because her doctor put her on meds for generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. But now, my sister has taken up the abuse mantle (actually she was always abusive but I just notice it more now that mother has dementia and seems “normal”) and is untreated, it seems. I can’t take more abuse after years of it so I am very low contact. After disengaging with my sister, it’s amazing how I don’t need to meet with my therapist as much… There is less toxicity pouring into me from the sibling, and I am finally healing little by little.
