well, good luck. but, it will be interesting to see what you have to say when you are say....75 years old....My mom has always been the opposite of my grandma but now that she is over 75, she is really changing. Personally, I think there is more to the "second childhood" phase than people realize. you go back to what you know, what you were brought up with in your formative years, whether you like it or not.......

EDIT: just a note to say that every family is different and every person is different and family dynamics are FLUID. I get frustrated sometimes because Psychologists want to "label" or "categorize" people/situations because it is intellectually easier. But Human Beings are NOT cookie cutter and each situation/family is different. I made a GENERAL observation but by NO MEANS am I saying that what happened in MY family will happen in others' families...
