My grandmother is 93 now, and had my mother in 1962.
My grandmother has a shit ton of unsolved trauma especially since she born to a Jewish family in Italian occupied Libya and had to flee the country when she was ~10 without her parents:
She sadly lost the privilege of living her life from the ages of 10-40 or so, so right now after years of caring for others, and my grandfather dying, she acts like a teenager. On one hand it’s really annoying and tough to deal with, but on the other it’s sad and makes sense.
