[quote=Anonymous]I mean, you have to stop caring about your mom’s ridiculous attacks or cut back on how much you talk to her. You aren’t going to change her. You could offer to go relieve your sister for a week if you are really willing to do this. Your sister also could cut back on what she is doing, but she doesn’t seem willing. I agree with your that an aide can pick up meds, you could do bill paying, etc. My speculation is that your sister is codependent with your mom — and that actually isn’t your problem. But there is also no need to think something like palliative care is super scary. Your mom is old, she is going to die. It does no one any good for you to get panicked about it. And I’m not sure what you felt the need to research. This is between your mom and her doctor. It sounds like you are emotionally reactive and you need to work more on detaching.[/quote]
