Hi folks, just joined today. I have been helping my mother ever since my dad died 9 years ago. She will be 84 soon and is still as controlling as ever. I cannot bear to live with her unless it is a life threatening situation. We fight all the time, because she is so stubborn and a bit mental all her life. Does anyone else out there have parent(s) that is overbearing and not rational? Any tips?
