[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry this is happening. Some context would really help us here. Is this a long-standing pattern she's used all her life with you? Or is it a recent tactic? If it's long-term, you might need to see a therapist to help sort through a lifetime of this kind of treatment (which some do see as a type of emotional abuse at some levels; it can be pretty cruel). But if it's a new thing, is there some chance that she, herself, is changing -- maybe starting signs of dementia? (Unreasonable anger, if that's part of this, can be one possible flag of a mental health change in older people). But all that's conjecture unless we know a bit more about the context of her and whether this is new or old; specific to one problem between you, or something she does over many things; or a tactic she's using to get her way because you've given in to it in other cases....And so on.
