[quote=Anonymous]PP, so sorry for your awful situation. This is such a tiny suggestion, I don't want it to sound like minimizing you pain. Set aside 1 hour a day to "deal with Mom". Ideally a set time. Ideally consistently. Have a timer. Condition yourself (which will take time) so at no other time you are dealing with her/worries about her/ that interfere with your thoughts/your day's activities. I would stop the therapy, that's my opinion. It just has you focusing on her even more, too much of your time, I doubt it helps. Not everyone is available -all the time-, not even in an emergency. Btw, ... do not tell her that this is your plan. Or siblings. Maybe not anyone. If asked, you were sorry that you weren't there/could not be there ... when she called, needed a ride, had an emergency.[/quote]
