So, long story short, I babysit my step-grandmother, who has very advanced alzheimers, for very little pay, 5 days a week. All of that isnt a problem. The problem is that her disease is making her a miserable, nasty, name calling, feeling hurting, evil bitch!!! She tells me on the regular that I'm a terrible person, I have no idea what Im doing and she wishes something bad would happen to me. See, she's only been my grandmother for two years, (Dad's new wifes mother) so she doesnt have any happy memories of me to relate to, im practically a stranger to her sick brain. So, I know I cant scream at her to shut the fuck up like I really want to. I cant tell her that I bust my ass taking care of her and get no respect for it. I cant scream at the top of my lungs that I've basically missed the last year of my daughters life because Ive been too busy taking care of her crazy ass. Because Im supposed to sit back and take all her shit because I know that shes sick and its all her disease talking. But, its kind of hard after a year to listen to someone tell you your a horrible person every day, just because they're sick and still be able to make it through the day without crying.
ughhh.. sorry. i had to get that out. i know its not pretty or grammarical but i feel like 2% better. |

It's fine, can relate, my nan has looked after her mum for nearly 70 years (got dementia now but always been mad pretty much), only just got her in a home. It's never easy to be around someone who doesn't want your help.

That's horrible! I think her blood relatives should look after her instead of the chore being tossed off to you, especially, if you've missed the last year of your daughters life.

Seriously. That sucks. If my step-grandma ever made someone else take care of her husband, I'd be a little peeved. Though, now that I think about it, it might be a bit better for him. . . she can be a real bitch for an old woman. ._____.;
This is why I plan to die when I'm 40. No getting old for me!

well, my step-grandfather works full time still. They are pretty young 60 & 61. She got this real early. He's still pretty torn up about it with all kinds of denial and what not. But the rest of their family sucks. thanks for listening guys  on the same page as you Ana! No getting old for me |
