The only way I can deal with her is to ignore her or humour her but her temper is getting worse as she get's older.
Hi Steve,
The temper does seem to get worse, as they get older. I think in the case of my NMother it was because she received constant reinforcement from my very passive father (sorry, Dad) who just wanted to hear the sound of her voice as his other memories became more clouded. He passed away at the age of 83. With no one for her to vent to on a daily basis, there was no one to diffuse her anger and it all boiled over.
I hope I will be welcome to use your group, I have to go now I find typing very tiring.
I hope you'll be able to share more of your story in the future. Writing about this stuff
is very tiring. And time consuming, but it can be helpful.
Welcome,
