Keeping my temper
Hello, my name is Alex and I work as a caregiver for my 92 year old great aunt. How can I keep my cool when she snaps at me? I literally take a cry break in the bathroom every couple days because it's hard to handle sometimes. She forgets she was so harsh to me after only 10 minutes but I remember it for days. I know I shouldn't take it personally, but it's even harder being related to her. I just need some advice if you have any?
