Can we hear from the elders that are being cared for? I would like to hear what they are feeling, thinking...

sylvester -

I don't imagine that many of the elders being cared for have the capability of signing on to a computer, let alone finding this message board, registering, and posting a response. I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, so please forgive me if I come off sounding that way. It's just that it's always been my understanding that the people who post here are caretakers in need of advice, aide, or just plain support. JMHO

Mom would tell you I have mother daughter syndrome.....(whatever that is). I would tell you I have Christian shackled to a demon syndrome.
She would tell you she planned my servitude before I was born. I would tell you I never asked to be born.
She would tell you I am too clean. I would tell you it took my hub and I 3 yrs. to clean out my dad's hoarded mess just so mom could sell the house & now I'm working on cleaning up the last 50 yrs of her mess on this earth as a gesture of good will to society.
She would proudly tell you I do everything for her. I would tell you she's trying to take me out with her.
That's what my demented narccissist BPD mother thinks.........
