[quote=Anonymous]Are you the old me OP? Been there done that. I too was an enabler. I learned here you must save others from them (e.g.take car keys), but if they are stubborn and nasty, you cannot do in your health and sanity saving them from themselves. If a doctor says they are mentally fit for independent living, there is little you can do, but let them self-destruct unless they are cooperative or you are a magician. Also, your children come before your elderly parents. Let adult protective services know your concerns about safety so they can check on things. Yes, your parents will be livid. Next hospitalization, as another poster said, is your chance to get a placement. Make it clear you cannot and will not be the caregiver.[/quote]
