i need some tips on being patient with an elderly parent. she says the same things over and over again. i tell her how to take her medicine over and over again until i get really angry and lose all of my patience. i don't want to be like that but can't help myself. any suggestions on how to deal with the situation? i've prayed about it and tell myself i won't do it again but somehow it always work out like that.
When I feel that level of frustration coming on I step out for a few minutes. Sometimes I have to walk away many times in a short period of time.
My mother was not the best Mom. She has always had an issue with anger and now it is ten fold. But what are we going to do about it? Not much, just try to keep your own mental health in check
