Jude, send Koala to me and I will hold him hostage. If she doesn't do right, she'll never see Mr. Koala again. :E

JessieBell I am not so sure there's a difference. the Jekyll and Hyde traits drive me to screaming point. nothing I do is right I do at all but my daughter is an angel. However when my daughter lived with her and I visited the reverse was true. PS My mother drove my daughter to a complete nervouse breakdown - Im not planning on letting her do that to me. As for her darling koala he's on death row!

After I wrote that I thought that I really know exactly what I would do if it happened much. I am not nearly so committed to taking care of my mother. When it becomes too hard she'll need to go to a good NH. I dread that day, because I know it is going to be a major battle with lots of anger and resentment. But I know the day will come unless the Lord calls her home first.

I have so many scream moments, where do I begin? None are as bad as the one you described, Jude. I hope you enjoy your time out.

My major scream moment of the week was yesterday afternoon. My brother is in town. She is as sweet as pie around him and his wife. Yesterday Mom and I had to go to the doctor. She chatted and was very nice the whole time. On the way home, she talked and talked while I navigated the school-hour traffic, trying to keep us from being on the 5:00 news. Got home and all was fine. After a while she decided to change to her pajamas. I think instead that she found her Ms. Hyde suit in the bedroom. She reemerged as an angry, biting woman. I don't know which is worse -- the chat, chat, chat or the bite, bite, bite. I know she got back in her room and started ruminating about something. She was nasty the rest of the night. All I could think was where was my brother when I needed him. Her sons make Ms. Hyde disappear.

So you see, Jude, not nearly so bad as yours. I don't know what I would do if my mother did what yours did.

eeeek cwillie dont yell at her or they will call it abuse, for in effect that's the correct term - thats why my garage and my car hear me scream a lot. I can handle the physical save for one thing well two actually vomit and sputum - those two things make me heave. It is the constant demand for attention that drives me crazy ... I tell you I could find places for that bell she has where noone would ever find it...smirks

I can handle the physical stuff like incontinence, dentures etc pretty well but the loopy mental stuff drives me to distraction!!! She will get into a loop where she calls me for something, and as soon as I leave the room she will call again for the same thing. I am ashamed to say I yelled at her yesterday and told her she was driving me NUTS, she couldn't have another pain pill, she had just been turned over, we already put cream on her knees and STOP CALLING ME!!! I was no sooner sitting in my chair than she is calling again....
