I think I was like you about an hour ago…my elderly mother lives with me, she’s retired and is I’m fully supporting her. However she seems to think she calls the shots in my house and has repeatedly undermined my authority, particularly with some family members visiting here.
I was extremely livid and pointed out to her, it’s not her place to say anything about what goes on under my roof…essentially that I’m the one in charge and she needs to take instructions from me, not the other way around. But that stupid old bat doesn’t seem to understand this and she is pushing things to a breaking point. If she keeps it up, she’ll be living with one of my siblings and if they don’t take her, then she’s off to a nursing home.
Anyways, I’ve calmed down a bit but my mind was in a very altered/dark state. Still I have to find a resolution-she is becoming intolerable to live with. She doesn’t seem to understand that she’s living with me at my convenience and generosity and that such situations can rapidly change.
I’ve warned her on many occasions about her behavior but it’s getting to the point where I will have to kick her out of my place (something my sister did to her before and I can understand why). If I was her, I would’ve ended my life ages ago, she has less to live for than I do and she’s stupid as fuk and a major burden on others.

Sorry for my rant, I’m in my own headspace here. 😛
