[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot. But my extended family is dead save for my brother who is dealing with his own stuff, and I guess I feel an obligation to my mother. She’ll be more of my problem eventually- I’m her estate executor, her POA, etc., and she has a strict idea about gender norms and puts all the expectations of family stuff on me, the daughter. I guess my pathetic unconscious hope (until just now when I typed this) is that if I placate her better now, she’ll be less of mean to me when I’m dealing more directly with her daily care in the future.[/quote] You say you feel an obligation, but an obligation to do what? Make sure she has food and housing? Or be her victim, subject to her whims?[/quote]
