[quote=Anonymous]OP again-just wanted to give an example of the type of convos we have.

Me:  "The roof is leaking. I will get estimates from these top companies for you and then you can decide who to use. I can choose if you prefer and then set up the appointment for repairs"

Mom:"It's fine. You are exaggerating like you always do. You think you know more about these things than I do?"

Me:"There is water in the kitchen. If a bad storm comes there will likely be further damage and you could get mold. This is not something to ignore."

Mom: "Enough. I am old. You are going to make me ill with all this talk. I cannot take you talking to me like this. I am not a child. How dare you be so disrespectful. Stop upsetting me! Your brother doesn't give me this grief."

Storm comes and damage is worse

Mom: Why didn't you do something?

Me: I told you there was an issue and you refused to allow me to do anything to help you.

Mom: You didn't understand me. You always misinterpret things and you don't communicate well. I never said I didn't want to fix the roof. You are making things up."

Me: tearing.hair.out while keeping a calm facade[/quote]
