...Read MoreTwoHug's, I also have a love/hate relationship with my mother and am just now beginning the journey of getting to gether on my terms and not hers. She is fighting tooth and nail - calling me every name in the book - told me she wished I hadn't been born... etc.. but, I am the only child, so there is no one else to go to. She lives in a retirement community, so gets her meals there, but I am the one to do her laundry, take her to appts., organize her pills - whatever I do is not enough and after her causing a scene at a family dinner at my the other night, I took her home and told her that she wasn't welcome back until she could be nice to family. She thinks that she should be top dog and that my family should definitely be secondary to her. She is not is the full throws of alzheimers yet, but is very mean spirited and selfish. My children and husband have been putting up with it for 10 years now and we are at the breaking point. I have to make the decision for her to not upset my family so much anymore.. It's very difficult for me to not be around her as much and to tell her no, but I have to do it for the sake of my family.
