dementia family therapy
What do you do when your elderly parent makes you mad?
My mother is almost 80, does not suffer from Alzheimer's disease or dementia and is active in the mind, body and spirit. She has her own friends, but we see each other on Sunday. I treat her to lunch, then a movie, or anything we have done for the day. The problem is that it is critical, negative, and domineering. I refuse to let it grow my buttons, and even when I do it from 1 to 10 (under my breath, of course) and try to speak calmly, either for herself or simply steer the conversation to another direction. It is simply not letting go. She cries and screams (it's not old ~ she was always this way) and I am wits' end, because it becomes a chronic problem. Even if it makes me nuts, she is my mother if I keep trying to battle the previous behind me. My brother does not live in the area so I'm his only family here. It is necessary treatment all his life, but will never accept it now. Anyone have experience with this type of situation? Advice?
You need to put some distance between yourself and her mother. Stop take it out on Sunday and stop calling. She'll get the picture. One of my friends use it to take her little great-grandmother to the store every morning! Finally Saturday, great-granny down started talking to my friend and shouted to his obsenities even in public. So … my friend ran great grandma out of the store, stuffed in his car and drove her home on two wheels. After a month of Saturdays only, great granny-got the picture and now she acts as if it has good sense! It's a tough job, but you have to do is' cause of your mental health depends on it!

Do you suffer from anxiety attacks? Of course only a qualified medical professional can correctly diagnose these kinds of serious issues, and I would recommend that you seek assistance in these matters if you're experiencing anxiety symptoms. That being said, there are steps an individual can take to relieve and maybe eliminate the emotional turbulence that often accompanies panic and anxiety attacks. With a very simple, natural technique called brainwave entrainment, you can get these sensations and feelings under control and put your life back in order.
