[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, no, no, no, no. Do not listen to these people (except 9:57). Your MIL is losing her mind. She's 90 years old, for goodness sake! This is like listening to your 5 year old's tall tales and letting him decide he should go live with the fairies in the woods.

Talk to the medical staff at her nursing facility and have an evaluation done. She should by NO means be allowed to move 5 hours away. And 8 weeks isn't even time enough for her to figure out where the rec room is.

When we put my grandmother in a facility, she called every night -- sometimes at 3 a.m. -- to report abuse and theft and say they were starving her. None of it true. You have to be strong.

This. Absolutely this. Stay strong, OP, work closely with the nursing home staff, and, for your own good, reach out to your support network to help you deal with this situation. I remember reading your previous post and feeling lots of empathy for you because, sorry to say, I knew where this was heading. Important to remember to be careful to take good care of yourself - eat healthily, exercise, get enough rest - so that the stress from this situation doesn't wear you down too much. Good luck![/quote]
