Yes, my mom is a master manipulator and I need to have it stop. I told my sisters that they need to help me with her but it really didn't make a difference. They don't like being around her because she's so difficult...but we do love her and want to keep her comfortable.
She refuses to designate power of attorney paperwork, refuses to show us where she keeps her will, funeral arrangements, etc. She acts like she doesn't remember anything but she remembers her money, accounts, and finances. She refuses to pay for anything the insurance and Medicare won't cover even if she needs it. She's a total TRIP!
Karen, I do it 24 hrs. a day--and never stop. It's totally wrecked my health and life. She is slowly killing me and I am letting her. I can't leave her or move out--I don't know what to do but I do look forward to my monthly 'holiday.' I will keep you in my prayers--
