[quote=Anonymous]OP I have an awful, toxic mother who is now in a nursing home with some dementia. You need boundaries. It's hard. Sincerely, talk to a therapist who will help you create boundaries, validate and affirm they are needed, and hold you accountable to keeping them and remind you why you have them if you waver. Which you will sometimes because it's hard. I visit once a year and call one day a week. That's it. She does not have my phone number to reach me. The staff calls me with updates and as needed. She is somewhere safe and she is very well cared for. That's my obligation and where it starts and ends. I am not obligated to allow this person to have a hold over any part of my emotional life or well being. Neither are you.[/quote]
