Hi my mother is having some severe issues
she’s not been able to get over her mothers passing 3 years ago . she wears her mums old clothes -
she’s very pushy - when she makes dinners she offers people seconds and when they refuse she still piles their plate
pushed my kids to kiss their snotty cousin even though their parents said watch out she has a cold
she’s become obsessed with our religion lately (Islam) and preaches to her daughter in law to repeat certain Arabic phrases but the DOL just says yeah and changes the subject (she’s a revert but grew up in Cuba)
she was under the crisis team and they gave her sertraline but she can’t tolerate more than 50mg day .
refuses to call Gp to get a hearing test as she talks very loud and at restaurants everyone turns to look at us
if we mention these things my mother sulks at future gatherings and takes things out on my dad who’s elderly
she has a very strict father growing up who left the family when she was 16 and she never got an education or career . She’s tried some careers in running a lunchtime takeaway but gave up and stopped going due to depression
other things like warehouse work she quits after few days due to arthritis pain
she cant claim Pip as she spent last 2 years abroad
