Title: Coping with Your Difficult Older Parent Pdf A Guide For Stressed Out Children
An Aging Parent Who --
- Blames you for everything that goes wrong?
- Cannot tolerate being alone, wants you all the time?
- Is obsessed with health problems, real, or imagined?
- Make unreasonable and/or irrational demands of you?
- Is hostile, negative and critical?
Coping with these traits in parents is an endless high-stress battle for their children. Though there's no medical defination for "difficult" parents, you know when you have one. While it's rare for adults to change their ways late in life, you can stop the vicious merry-go-round of anger, blame, guilt and frustration.
For the first time, here's a common-sense guide from professionals, with more than two decades in the field, on how to smooth communications with a challenging parent. Filled with practical tips for handling contentious behaviors and sample dialogues for some of the most troubling situations, this book addresses many hard issues, including:
- How to tell your parent he or she cannot live with you.
- How to avoid the cycle of nagging and recriminations
- How to prevent your parent's negativity from overwhelming you.
- How to deal with an impaired parent who refuses to stop driving.
- How to asses the risk factors in deciding whether a parent is still able to live alone.
Very helpful I thought I was the only person who had impossible parents with unrealistic demands and expectations of their children. Just by reading the preview, I was able to determine that, far from being alone, there were many others with problems so similar that whole chapters were devoted to said problems and potential solutions. It was a relief to know that I wasn't alone, and that there were concrete steps I could take to make things better. Most of the solutions worked, but, sadly, my parents seem to be uniquely creative in coming up with new and unusual problems to stress me out! I wish the authors would write Volume 2 -- "New ways of Coping with Weirdly Difficult Parents," or "How Can Two 84-year-olds Cause So Much Trouble?"gentler way to come to grips with taking care of an elderly parent who is a narcisist - a lot of good advice. Let's face it - to a kinder, gentler way to come to grips with taking care of an elderly parent who is a narcisist - a lot of good advice. Let's face it - too late to try to modify their behavior, so focuses on modifying your behavior so you can be a good caregiver for this type of person.Valuable insight I looked for a book that would be respectful and insightful. This book discusses possible deep rooted causes for difficult behaviors. There were many role playing scenarios, both our usual reactive responses when our buttons are pushed, and more productive scenarios that are not dismissive, angry, or resentful, permitting us the choice to not be drawn into the same old dramas. By acknowledging and validating the feelings, our loved ones do not feel dismisses. We also have the choice to set reasonable healthy boundaries, without guilt, which allow us to enjoy desirable interactions (think happy times) and outsource some of the less rewarding, but draining needs, like grocery shopping. This is just the book I needed. It is for those seeking skills and understanding. It is not advice on legal matters related to eldercare, nor how to modify a home or choose a nursing home. Having been through an Alzheimer's experience, there may be more targeted resources. I would, however, say this book is of utmost relevance about having a healthy, caring and rewarding relationship. I will recommend this book to all my friends. Thank you to the authors.
