I live in Ireland and there is a huge housing crisis. Housing is so limited and anything that is available, it can be so expensive.
I live at home with an aging parent. I never took advantage of my mother. I was a home bird and I usually enjoyed helping at home.
As time goes on it's getting harder and harder. I do work hard. My wage just doesn't cover a rent.
This is an issue but it's not just it.
My mother is showing some challagning behaviours and it does lead me into suspecting the possibilty of dementia.
It's getting so depressing now.
The past week has been a nightmare for me at. My mother is engaged in a severe OCD spell. She never had OCD when I was small. It looks as if something's there's no sequencing to her chores or tasks. She spent the whole week just dragging furniture around in and out from rooms. She is also in a hostile and angry mood. Also she is engaged in something nasty. Friday was bin day and all she did was just dump, dump, dump, dump, dump. She was just finding things to dump. Like jars heather they were full of not - bin, bin, bin, bin.
She wants to remover everything I own from common areas. Even toiletries from the bathroom. She is just in a major OCD mode. It's nasty. She is trying to write me off.
But it was the tone. The electricity bill came on Thursday. On Friday morning before she left to pay the bill she banged her bedroom door and came down and shouted at me just to give her my half of the bill. There was no talk or conversation or consulting with me. It was just an angry nasty hostile demand of give her the money. I always pay my way. This was nasty too. There was no need to be like that. There was no need to rush to pay it either. There was weeks to pay it. She was just so hostile.
Based on some other similar incidents in the past, I think it could likely be a UTI. She does usually recodgnise signs of peeing too much and she goes to the GP. But based on two other UTI incidents in the past it is usually accompanied by this similar type of behaviour. She likely isn't aware of this.
I don't know how to manage a UTI in her. She would more than likely only just fight me if I was to produce it test strips. I live in Ireland where pharmacists can't give antib's like in the UK.
I had today off work. I could bear it be at home and I just got up out of bed this morning and I left the home. That was before she woke. I was away all day. I am not returning home because I will need to get a bag and go and stay and a friend's for a week and hopefully let her cool off and burn that anger out.
I am dreading going home especially knowing the nasty tone that I am going to get from her. I was away all day and I never told her so I don't know if that will be another avenue for anger from her.
I am just dreading going home and if she asks me where I was all day.
I was half thinking about lieing to her and saying I was sick last night and had to go to a&e to try and soften her up or something.
She's nasty
