What do you do when your elderly parent drives you crazy?

Angela asked:


My mother is nearly 80, does not suffer from Alzheimers or dementia and is active in mind, body, and spirit. She has her own friends but we see each other on Sundays. I treat her to lunch and then a movie, or whatever it is we plan to do for the day.

The problem is she is critical, negative, and domineering. I refuse to let her push my buttons and even when she does I count from 1 to 10 ( under my breath, of course) and try to either speak calmly to her or just steer the conversation toward another direction.
She just simply will not let it go. She screams and yells (it’s not the age ~ she was always this way) and I am at my wits end because this is becoming a chronic problem.
Although she drives me nuts, she is my mother so I keep trying to put the previous battle behind me. My brother does not live in the area so I am her only family here.
She’s needed therapy her whole life but will never agree to get it now.
Anyone have experience with this type of situation? Advice ?

I need a good kick in the ass every day of my life. I need to retrain some bad habbits and get me further along in life. I have some great successes but like many Americans … I’M GREEDY and want it all NOW! “You woke up the baby…and I’m a big spoiled brat or at least I want to be.” We want more, we need more of everything but I’m still waiting for some body else to give it to me. I wish I was born rich, I wish I was born rich, wait … I’m American … I was born rich … richer then most but I want even more of the Good life. I need some new thinking process’s to motivate me and keep me motivated to grab for more then money I want success in all areas of my life … mind, body, spirit and free time to pursue all these great things like travel and meeting new people.

yurya2 asked:


I was once involved with a discussion group we called it a Mind, Body, Spirit, Group. One of the women in the group who was a physician and a non-practicing hindu commented that others often told her that they felt she was a very “spiritual” person. Well, we can explain easily enough why others might say that but it begs the question, what do people mean by “being spiritual” and what is spirit or what is a spiritual act? Some define it as a selfless act others as making a strong connection on an emotional or deeper level. I would like to hear what the YA community thinks and how some of you would explain or define a spiritual act. Also, to put this in context in a Mind, Body, Spirit group the mind and body are relatively easy to define but “spirit” is a much larger challenge. What part of the human is spirit and different from mind and body?

nefertitinoel asked:


My beliefs can basically be summed up with the following phrase, “Hishuk ish Tsawalk”, meaning, “Everything is One”. I believe that we are really parts of an infinite whole that is both eternal and ever changing. It is a mind/body/spirit that creates reality. I believe that Nature is Divine and full of spirits. I believe that the mysteries of existence are deeper than can be imagined and, most likely, descend forever into the darkness. I believe we are reflections of the whole and, therefore, all of Creation is contained within us. We are gods who focus our consciousness into this physical dimension and experience life as animals. When we cease our focus we return to the astral plane and are free from time and space. I believe that Nature is all and we are the fruit of the planet. I believe everything has spirit and consciousness and that all life is sacred. What is it that you believe in?

I feel strongly that my HUSBAND made a baby outside of our marrage.I need to know and I really want to know.I know if it is true what I am hearing in the streets,I will be really hurt.My heart is telling me that it is true.I need to find a way to prepare myself if it is true what I am hearing.My life and world will be shaterd.Now I have to start some investagation.I wonder how our 3 children will take it if it is true.The kids might start acting out real bad and I am not ready for that right now.I will not know how to handle a situation like that.This is not the time for that cause I have been under a lot of emotional stress lately.My mind,body,heart,spirit,and soul is not ready for that if it is true.But I do have to remember what my great grandmother told me before,Don’t believe nothing you hear,only half of what you see.I hope it is just a rumor somebody made up just to break us up again.I know what is best for me,I need to pray about it.
