Anybody get "busy" work orders from parent?

StandingAlone "I finally snapped one day and told her that if she wasn't on the floor bleeding or going into cardiac arrest, or had some real need, DON'T CALL ME, because I'd ignore her. I also told her that I wasn't her personal programmed robot, and that I didn't come with buttons that she could constantly push because she was bored. She treated me not as a human being, but as an extension of HERSELF, and hell no I wasn't having it.
There comes a time when you say ENOUGH. The end."
Well put. I don't think it can emphasized enough that since these terrorist parents will not change how they treat us . We have to learn how to react or not react to the behaviors. I'm talking about the ones who have their minds for the most part and can control their bad behavior when they need to not the parents who have dementia and no control over their behavior.

Having dementia -- esp. in the earlier stages, does NOT mean that they have NO control over their behavior! They may not have as much conscious control, but that is VERY different from NO control!
