Stressed

So my grandma came home from the hospital yesterday and at first I was really happy and then she went right back to her old ways criticizing downgrading and then when I talked to her about it asking her to be a little bit more nice since we were working our butts off to clean the house and get everything ready for her to come home she just told me that I could find a new place to live so today I decided that I was just going to spend the entire day away from her and so far I succeeded I slept until noon and then right when I woke up I fed my daughter and we've been out ever since I'm not going to give her the chance to put me down and be rude to me when all I've been doing is helping her out when she was in the hospital I visited her every single day or as much as I could and it was like it meant nothing to her and you know I thought we were making progress you know I thought that she was you know understanding me more with my mental health issues and stuff but apparently that was just a ploy that she didn't want to be alone so she was doing everything she could to be nice to us and then the second she got home where she doesn't have to worry about being alone she turns out to be the worst person to be around right now and I don't know what her problem is so how do I be nice to somebody who is stressing me out and being rude to me

She is 70 and she is with it she knows what she is saying but she has depression but won't get help so she is just being old and mean

That’s so terribly sad but a reflection of her poor character and judgment! I would definitely be looking for somewhere else to go. Your child doesn’t need to be living in a strained and negative environment and neither do you! Your gran is sadly just isolating herself and doesn’t realise it or doesn’t really care for now. She’s getting older and life can change for any of us in a heartbeat. My heart really goes out to you and your daughter. I would still be your kind and caring self around your gran as it gives her no room to say anything other about you. Sending you prayers love and hugs 🙏🏻🍀💔😘xx

I think she’s a cranky old b … and knows what she’s doing. Deep deep down she probably dosnt WANT to be this way but maybe no one has pulled her up on it , she herself probably wonders how she’s gotten away with it for so long . You’ll be surprised just how much respect someone will have for you after you say “”No more !!” . But you have to mean it ! Shel see straight through any weakness and if you cave it will just confirm for her that even when you put your foot down shel win , so it’ll be worse !!! Like a child would . Be firm , you don’t have to be mean ( which probably isn’t your true self, by the sounds of it) to be firm. You can still be you. Sometimes firm quietness is a whole lot louder than lots of noise and talking. Just a suggestion!! Always do what is in your heart , trust yourself, believe in yourself and you’ll know exactly what to do 💕🤗

Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Before getting out of bed do the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. After your shower rinse 5 minutes cold water. Get 40 minutes of daily cardio exercise to produce endorphins. Pamper yourself with this . We are here for you! You are a good person!
