[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You ever read that article about who is at the center of the circle in a crisis? Your dad is very ill, your mom might lose her spouse. She is dumping on you to avoid dumping on him. And she is facing a far worse crisis than you, as hard as it is to see your parents age. She's entitled to a little crazy. Bear with it, stand up for yourself if you must, but try to see how scared and vulnerable she is. [/quote] This. OP, please take a moment to understand how this works...and show some compassion for your mother.[/quote] Did you read? There is no mention of NOT showing compassion. Often it is the person who actually does the work of caregiver who gets shat on and has to cope. It's easy to judge when you aren't doing the work.[/quote]
