[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 427678, member: 65"] That's my point of view, unfortunately, it's not my Mom's. She's been raised that it is her DUTY to take care of her Mom until her death...no matter how bad it gets. But Mom is slowly getting the message that her Mother's happiness is not her responsibility. For the most part, she's got it in her head, now she's just got to believe it in her heart. Grandma is the Queen at giving quilt and Mom is conditioned to accept it all. I no longer accept Grandma's guilt. That means I get a lot of dirty looks from Grandma. I have done really good at not laughing at them. As if a dirty look would scare me! I had a 6'2" difficult child an inch from my face yelling about how he wanted to choke me but he knew I'd hurt him back. If I didn't back down from THAT, I'm not going to be moved by a dirty look! Just wish I could pass this on to my Mom instead of her having to learn it on her own. [/QUOTE]
