Nada's changing, esp during old age. Old and even more useless

[Guest guest]

Throughout my nada's adult life, she was classic high functioning--full of

anxiety, reasonable one minute and then acting out the next. Never knew what set

her off. I was the youngest and most of the time was in the flying monkey role,

my half-sister the 'bad seed' from an earlier marriage and my father the kind

but 'lame assed' provider--he never had enough initiative (her words).

Earlier in her life she played the mouse, the hermit, then the witch. However,

since her mother died and she perceives herself the matriarch she is playing the

queen to the hilt. She is now 78.

As my sister and I have turned away from her and her abusive behaviors, she just

ignores that we have gone low contact with her. Every time one of us gets

together with her, she has to bring up one of her ugly faux pas and tell the

story COMPLETELY different, with her as the heroine of the story who saves the

day.

It is actually quite funny, except for the fact these were very hurtful

experiences at the time. It is bad enough that she never apologizes or accepts

responsibility; it is untenable that she now claims those events as some sort

triumph of her maternal skills.

I hate the bitch & sincerely hope she dies sooner than later, has her interview

with St and goes straight to hell.

I think they become waifier as they get older. Its easier to be the victim

when you are an old lady.
