Cruel Intentions

I try to give her the benefit of the doubt but there are days when it just doesn't fly. I made a great meal, roasted veggie gratin, yellow beans w/butter, sweet potato gnocchi with a gorganzolla cream sauce. After that Mabel says "oh that Noreen is great, she sees everything".....Noreen had noticed that she had finished an open can of Ensure, and "opened the one on the shelf". There is a can of Ensure on the shelf. I was supposed to know that meant I was to open it. I informed her that I work with people who cannot communicate and that she is not one of them. She was about to go into her "I'm such a burden" martyr crap but I think I must have had a look because she stopped and muttered something else. I turned and kept doing the dishes, she went to her room.

I hate that all of this can still send me into a crying jag. It isn't right for a grown woman to treat her daughter like this, notes and innuendos instead of a pleasant, would you mind, I could use a little help with..... I feel like a horrible person when I think that the only way that I am free is for her to die, but one of us has to go and I really have a lot more that I want to do here.
