Mom (83) whom I am caring for, is often verbally abusive. How can I handle this?

I feel your pain! It really hurts sometimes, but I just try to brush it off my shoulder, like, "oh...oh yeah?" Usually he forgets about kicking me out of the house within a minute and then the next he tells me never to leave him! It isn't something that I have gotten used to and its been over two years now. Like I said, I try to just brush it off, I know that doesn't always work though! If you can, walk away for a second to try and calm your nerves and/or wipe your tears, maybe even find a pillow to go scream in!

Don't walk back in. Gee, I walked away from my father at 18. Never went back. Only you can save yourself.
