Title: Mother not talking to any children
Post by: Karen A on May 08, 2021, 01:13:58 PM
My mother is so emotional and there is no room for anyone else’s feeling.  She is aging and asking for help, but nothing we ever right.  She is mad at me and my brothers and not speaking to any of us.  Our life has been always been difficult with her mood swings.   It is just hard now since I know she needs help.  She gambled away her and Dad’s money.  My husband and I bought a house for them to live in six years ago.  My Dad passed away five years ago.  I will always make sure a roof is over her head and her bills are paid..  I do wish we could have a better relationship but I cannot emotional be all that she wants.

It sounds like you're going above and beyond to provide for her. What, specifically, is she asking for help? What do you mean be "emotional be all?" I imagine that's gotten worse after your dad passed.
