Can’t believe how difficult I find my mums visit. I can’t breathe properly, my brain kicks into reptilian mode. Ridiculous as I’m over 60 and she is in her late 80s.
Try not to respond to her numerous comments which demonstrate what a racist, spiteful snob she is. She is constantly critical , not only of me but also of my sister and her family who are facing significant challenge in their life. Sometimes she makes an attempt to be pleasant and has a very high view of her self. She is rude. Her behaviour over the years has been selfish and hurtful to many family members. They are now dead. As the last one standing she now reinvents history putting herself at the centre of everything.
Everything is criticised - new lamps, young people using computers, her Polish cleaner.
Opinionated, resentful of the young, intolerant of the needy!
After 4 days of her over the Bank Holiday I’m so relieved to be taking her home tomorrow. Have picked her up from London, driven her to the Midlands. Taken her shopping, out for meals, to Antique centres !
Difficult to stand up to someone approaching 90 so a bullying mentality is not confronted!
Roll on Tuesday evening.
