[quote=Anonymous]Op your title is pretty inflammatory. Relationships are very complicated. I have been there for my parents for over 8 years, through the decline and death of dad and now dealing with some pretty atrocious behavior from mom which apparently isn't dementia. It forced me to really evaluate my childhood and come to terms with the fact she has always been explosive and emotionally abusive, it's just now she can't turn on the charm and smooth things over so easily and now slowly those who see her often are seeing it too. I have had to gradually back away to save my sanity and get professionals involved much to her rage. I suspect my the time she passes away if she isn't the death of me first, I will do the obligatory ceremony, but I will have nothing genuinely kind left to say. Abuse changes the brain. I don't know that I can lie and do some glowing tribute. I will just tell the religious person to do some generic sermon about her being a good perso since that is what she would want. Knowing her she might write her own eulogy and it would be very tempting when reading it to let everyone know she wrote it.That would speak volumes. [/quote]
