[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. [b]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.[/b][/quote] Nope. She will be more mean to you, because she knows you will take it. I'm sorry OP. She is most likely incapable of ever treating you how you deserve to be treated. But you can, and should, set boundaries so that you are treating yourself with respect. [/quote]
