It's been a tough few days. Mum has been quite difficult to manage. I had a request to meet with staff at the nursing home to discuss her behaviour. In her constant demand for attention and sympathy, she has taken to bouts of down right rudeness to some of the careers there. I too have become a target of rudeness and blame for her current condition in that she's telling anyone who will listen how awful I have been to her. I know it's all a cry for help/attention/sympathy but..... trying to get her to understand that it can be quite hurtfull has been very difficult. I have been there for her, every step of the way for the 3 years she has been a resident at St Nicks and I will know it will be down to me to carry on with that for the foreseable future - she is my mum after all. It's always at the back of my mind that, no matter how bitter and angry she gets, she is in an awful state of health and would do anything not to have to be in a nursing home.
Chin up old son.
