[quote=Anonymous]My mom feigned illness in her later years to get attention. I finally found the solution was to give her regular attention in more positive ways (daily calls, regular flowers, photos, good news of any kind). Visits and attention from families is the "status symbol" among aged people. I avoided telling her my troubles unless there was some way she could help (occasional small gift of $). Once she had plenty of bragging rights she cut out the negative behavior.[/quote]
