[quote=Anonymous]If your mom is 75, are you in your 40s?  Are you living in a a new area without friends for you?  Do you have close friends?  Some parents just prefer one child over the other, even though I have kids and my sister doesn't mom favors her beyond anything, but still blackmails me and guilt trips me about everything. Maybe be thankful she is not abusive to you? I've developed a thick skin, to the point that people think I am emotionally detached from everything. Just leave it alone, I say, it is healthier that way. You aren't going to change her and since you do seem to care, why spend whatever time your mom has left fighting with her. Reaching out to sister won't work.  I tried with my sister and she could see at all what I am talking about, because she never sees that side of mom.  As for who take cares of mom when needed, let you sister do it, I am certainly not involved at all, sister lives close to them, and she does it.  Even if I was there, I would still be the wicked witch of a daughter, so why waste energy.  Sometimes it is good not to care, give it a try. Not for her, for your mental health.[/quote]
