[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The doctor’s office called me again yesterday. She said my mom is confused and needs me to make and take her to appointments. She lives 5 states away, and is capable of making her own appointments.

I went into a rather short explanation about how she understands what’s going on, and has been like since I was a kid. I’m pretty sure the nurse thinks I’m the worst daughter on the planet. I tried to explain that she goes into attack mode when she’s pushed and says pretty much anything to keep from taking responsibility for dealing with the problem.

I hate the guilt that comes with this, but it’s a step up from the abuse I will endure if I get too involved. [/quote]

Have you worked with a counselor on any of this?  Seriously.  From birth, your mother has raised you to care, to feel guilty, to accommodate her.  She does her thing to get attention and reactions and, because she has you well trained, you respond. This time, she's upped the ante and is engaging the nurse in her little game.  That kind of conditioning is hard to overcome but not impossible.  The first step is recognizing it for what it is. You really need someone to help you see through this fog. Again, it's not easy but you'll be much healthier for it.
