My mother is disabled and lives with me, but our problems go back way beyond this.
She is and has always been a narcissistic parent, and my sister and I have long endured her manipulations. I have had extensive therapy to help me identify and deal with some of her behaviours, which has helped immensely and "trained" her into different approaches, which obviously helps our relationship keep more even.
The biggest problem I have at present is that she expects me to keep her entertained constantly - taking her out for the day, chatting, etc, and it's getting to a point where I am struggling to cope.
She has few friends (mainly because she never contacts them - they have to come to her and if they don't get in touch "in a timely fashion" they are dead to her. Have tried to explain that she can just as easily reach out to them but... sigh), and will usually not want to see them unless I take her to do so. She will state "she's bored" and huff and sigh all over the house like a teenager.
I already do all the housekeeping, garden, shopping, etc due to her disability, and feel that her making me responsible for entertaining her is a step beyond. She is not completely housebound - she can walk a little with crutches, and has a mobility scooter (which I organised for her) so can get around, but she will not go anywhere without me.
I just feel I need some "me-time". I used to have the early mornings to myself as she wouldn't get up until half nine, but she's starting to get up at 7 now, and demands a cup of tea.
AIBU?
