[quote=Anonymous]My mom is similarly combative and has been abusive my whole life. She could not afford round the clock care and was having frequent emergencies that had an impact on neighbors, my aunt and me. (I live 500 miles away.) I dealt with it by getting her into assisted living after a fall and rehab stay, and a diagnosis of dementia. It was unreasonable and unrealistic of her to decline care and then need people to drop everything and help her after every emergency. I also hired a geriatric care manager to help with day to day issues and make visits. It’s expensive and I pay for the majority of it. But it buys me sanity and peace of mind. I can only manage about two days of her nonstop verbal abuse before I lose my mind. So I never visit longer than that. [/quote]
