[quote=Anonymous]First off, so far our experience is it gets worse and more crazy with age. Mom used to be subtly manipulative, slightly entitled and had mils issues managing anger. Now it's all that on steroids. The sad thing is she is so obvious trying to pit people against eachother. She even tried to start a drama with my brother writing an email from ME from her email address. I chat with my brother weekly. What a stupid manipulation on her part. He knew it was her, but we both couldn't believe how ignorant she has become in her attempts to create drama.

We have both learned to detach from her. She has an obsession with firing doctors and acting like a diva at the office. We stopped researching doctors for her because it's a waste of time. She is perfectly capable of researching herself and she just fires them anyway.

Yes, don't expect the parent to be normal. We limit contact and get off the phone or leave when she rants, manipulates, guilt trips or tries to triangulate. [/quote]
