She has some dementia so when I do not call I get these calls of hysteria about what is wrong. Like she would do anything! But I am in control of it. I can put a stop to it. I am the one perpetuating it. It is my sick behavior. I keep trying to get them to nurture me in some way and it will never happen. I dont know why I cant seem to stop.

I heard a comedian saying something recently you might like to hear. He said to the audience, rhetorically "Why is it that parents are so good at pushing my buttons??"
"Because THE INSTALLED THEM", he answered. ;)
And we all believe there's a glimmer of hope. That's why we're still here.
Good Luck okydoky :)
