Why did you start a new thread when you were getting good answers to your thread: "How can I keep peace with mom and finally have a life with a decent man?"
The way to enjoy your own life is to enjoy your own life. Tell your mother you will take her to the casino once every X amount of time and that is IT. She can stand on her head on the roof if she'd like, and pout until next week, but you are not a chauffeur service for her. Let her ride the bus there or find somebody else to enable her because you are DONE.
No sorry but I grew up listening to verbal fighting all the time her and my father she's so bossy she gets on everyones nerves if she doesn't have her way
I can't imagine!! I take my mom maybe every 6 weeks, and that is plenty for me, and normally for her. Can you get her a tablet, and load some casino games on it,, just disable the features that want you to spend money for real. My mom likes the free games.. Hollywood has a an app.. we downloaded that. I will say there are a lot of adds on them all, but hubs set it up so she can't spend real money. We just got her a new Kindle to replace her Veriizon tablet, so we are going through a learning curve..but it's OK so far
She refuses to do anything but casino I tried asking professional people and they said senior center for her to meet people and do things but she's s stubborn person and refuses anything I suggest I really need maybe s professional person to step in because I at the end of my rope

How did this come to be?
Are you able to set a reasonable expectation for her, like you will take her to the casino once a week?
Why does it matter if she "gets nasty"? You're an adult, yes? You are allowed to say no to your mother when you're an adult.
