[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all of these helpful tips. My mom and dad are still both alive. My mom has always been hard on my dad but now she is even more volatile and angry. I was with her alone recently and she went on and on about my dad and I told her she sounded angry and unhappy. I suggested therapy. She blew up at me, said I was taking my dad's side and how insulting I was. She has cut herself off from her friends while my dad is more social - she's jealous and angry about that. I told her to find her own outlet - she rejects everything after trying it once or twice. She just doesn't get along with others. I see so many friends who have nice little old lady moms and I have this difficult, angry woman who only complains bitterly about everything when I see her. I feel guilt that I don't see her more but I need some self-preservation. Anyway, that is all. Just needed to vent in an anonymous place where others seem to be experiencing it, too![/quote]
