It is sad and often nerve racking when people get old. The very ones giving care are the ones treated the worse. Just remember she is not who she wants to be or who she was, old age has only left her the way she is. Plus she has lost her self independence and is fighting to keep some control to keep her self respect. Fear is a big part of their world. How ever she treats you, it is not you or the lack of loving you......she is only part of who she would be if age did not rob her. She is the same mom that put up with the know it all teen ager you used to be....its just her turn. Compassion will rule over hard feelings.....and she still loves you......she is just fighting old age.
Hang in there! Take care of yourself to take care of her.
Some people are not able to find it. The mind set is too strong without proper understanding of how to fight it. They get lost and don't know how to find their way out except....like a friend I had... with a bullet! His father was my best friend and I knew the young man from a little stinker....but he got lost. We should latch on to these people and show them what they need.....acceptance and a way out.
We must walk their walk before judging their actions.
If you have been told your whole life that you are too sorry to be around decent people. Then when a rejection comes.....that confirms that which you have been told your whole life.
We never know anothers walk and how close they are to stumbling.
I have a piggy bank without a stopper in the bottom....I bought it yesterday for a dime.....I was Happy!
I put a quarter in it and then put it on the shelf.
Guess what! I found a quarter on the floor....so I took my pig down and put the quarter in it and put it back on the shelf.
Guess what! I found another quarter on the floor. I put it in my pig and Guess what! It happened over and over. I bought a lucky pig bank.....I must have $17.25 already!

RE: How many people think that one's astrological sign is a true indicator of compatibility?
Then why can't God have a channel too!
