I am in a dilemma
Mum has been increasingly refusing to let me do anything at all for her. Last week I tried to mop her kitchen floor and she took the mop off me and hit me over the h ead with it. If I try and wipe down worktops or dust she goes absolutely mad, strats trying to hit me and literally tells me to F... Off and drags me around by my clothes or my hair.
Normally my brother (who she is very tolerant of) gives her meals and her tablets, as she will not take either from me. He has now at a moments notice kindly informed me that he is going away for 4 days this weekend and I am absolutely at a loss as to what I can do with mum. She lives round the corner from me and basically I just pop in to make sure she is alive and kicking (literally kicking in my experience!) but how do I get her to let me feed her and give her her tablets now that my brother has decided to go away with such short notice>
I have been telling him we need a plan in case her went away and h e just kept saying "we will cross that bridge when we come to it!" well apparently we have come to it, but he just says leave her something to eat and she will probably eat it.
Probably not she will probably throw it at me.
She does not have any careres coming in as she would not let them in(there have been timnes when she has seen me coming round the corner and locked the door and not let me in ) I am very worried. I f eel really pathetic and useless but mum really does not want me there and yesterday she told me she hated me. I know it's not her it's the illness, but how can I help her if she doesn't want me to.?
HELP!
