Here’s my case, you may be facing something similar. From my journal: “My 92-year-old mother refuses to move to an assisted living center. She is in denial about her condition. Beyond that, she is in pain all the time and this contributes to her toxic personality. The house around her is falling apart and she can barely even get out of bed by herself anymore. So I and my sisters are essentially her assisted living center.” I had one major blow up when taking care of my mom. Chapter 5 helped me learn steps to avoid that from ever happening again. I liked how most of the advice/instruction comes with supporting stories.
