Nothing has worked.She has gotten mean and very manipulative.We love her very much,but it can be so trying. We have just joined a support group and I suggest you do so if you haven't already.There are days when I feel like I am going mad as well and there are days when I feel such guilt. My sister bears the brunt of moms abuse,my sister sold her home in Florida and retired early from a great job and moved in with mom to take care of her. I take care of my sister in turn,but I live in Maryland and she in Wisconsin. It is hard all the way around for everyone and all we can do is try to make mom comfortable as we watch her slowly starve herself to death.Your in my prayers.
