A petty narcissist with a victimization syndrome (unfortunately, I am familiar with the type). Not much you can do about it except keep your distance whenever possible and patronize them (their only weakness).
Sorry you have to deal with it at all.

She is your mother...she is elderly(assuming this because of the hearing aid, although you did not mention her age)...Just keep a good support system for yourself if you need to vent after you visit her...Try to have patience when you are dealing with her, her world is so much smaller than yours is, as we age it does that to many...I am 50 yrs. old so I can empathize with you both...My mom can get on my nerves at times but, she is still my hero...just keep in mind that our moms will not be here or us here on this blue marble forever...try to find the things you do like about her and meet her in that place...
I am not a DOCTOR just a caring human...take care and give her a hug...

I am sure that there is no way to take back what I said, and for that I apologize. I am deeply embarrassed by taking this thread personally, and spewing angry, arrogant, and completely ignorant stupidity on my part. Please forgive me as I learn to temper my tongue, my understanding, and my humility.
I hope that you were able to view me as such, and no serious harm was done to anything but my character.
