Tks all. My mom has always been confrontational, even when we were small. No one is allowed an opinion unless it agrees with hers. My mom is not your typical 78 year old, she looks like she's in her 60's and her memory is like a young person. Usually I have just ignored her. I guess it's just 2 years of listening to her snide, mean remarks that I finally just erupted. My brother deserves some peace in his final days and if she can't be peaceful, she should move out. Although, there's no other kid in the family that would have her live with them because she's so hard to get along with. She has always had to have some sort of conflict going with at least one of her kids, I guess it will be me now. Maybe that will take some heat off my brother. She's just mean sometimes, plain mean. I do love her because she's my mom but it's hard to like her sometimes. I am afraid that we are going to have a huge rift between us. I have gone 47 years taking her crap, and in just one day I feel our relationship has been ruined..sherryg683
