[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone experiencing this? I am the good daughter who takes care of her mom with dementia. She spends 6 months in my house, I spend 3 months at hers. My sister would have to take care for only 3 months but doesn’t care. Anyway, I do so much but my mom constantly guilt trips me. My sister who does nothing is left alone and only gets her good side.

Thanks Sis!!  :roll:  [/quote]

Not the person you are responding to, but I have been there and this is good advice.You can only control you. You do the amount you can handle without resentment. If you are burned out it's time to change the situation and put mom in a more appropriate setting. It's not worth wasting time seething and venting. I was so much happier when I stepped back more and eventually mom stopped the dysfunctional dynamics with me because i was not around her so much. She spread out the guilt trips and manipulations so others got to see that side.[/quote]
