I took my mother's ipad to the Apple Doctor's Office because it needed to be tweaked. Love the Apple staff, they fixed it.
Came home and she says to me "Come in ~ I just want someone to talk to." It makes me cringe. Talk about what? This is the lady who told me basically to take my stuff upstairs and keep it there. I have years of this behavior. I know. I should have sat down and talked. I was nice, I gave her the mango ice that was in the freezer, I am doing her laundry...........
I can internalize this and make it my fault. It is no one's fault. She is my mother and I am supposed to love her. I don't like her. And, I really don't love her much.
I imagine people have these feelings also. Spouses. Siblings. Sons and daughters. I am not going to be crazy. I am not going to cry. I am going to do the best I can. What is the saying.....Keep Calm and Carry On. That is going to be my mantra.
