I have been the beneficiary of a lot of mom's crankiness over the past ten days. It's been kind of interesting to observe how much I am still affected by it just like I was when I was a little kid. Maybe you never outgrow being affected by your mom's temper.
I hadn't been aware that mom's crankiness also extended to the dear neighbors who unfailingly help her, but I was chatting with some of them today and discovered that while they wouldn't describe it as "crankiness," they said that they "had sensed her frustration." Fortunately this couple also knew the same thing I do, that it is either fatigue or pain that underlies it, and we agreed that all you can do is try to absorb it.
