[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, move them into assisted living or a nursing home.[/quote] Are you the same poster who tries to scare childfree posters with “ Who’s going to take care of you when you’re old”?[/quote] No, I am someone who spent years taking care of my MIL and in a similar situation. She only had social security. I couldn't leave her alone and we couldn't afford help. None of the relatives helped, even for an hour, but wanted to dictate what happened. Now I am going through it with one of my parents, and the rest of my family including that parent treats me badly and I learned to stay NO. (but I loved my MIL and she was very kind to me so I was willing to do it). I have kids, which made it very hard as they'd miss their school/preschool and therapy (for SN) if my spouse couldn't flex his day at one point because I was scared to leave her home alone.[/quote]
