[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to get her to just look at some options...for the future if she needs it. It may alsy her fears.[/quote] OP here- thanks. It's hard. She seems to expect that I'm going to personally take care of her like she did her mother- but my circumstances (job, kid, husband who would move out if I moved my mother in, living in a different city) just aren't going to allow for that. Plus, we have a far different relationship than she did with her mom, and that's a story for a different forum. [/quote] If she has that expectation now it will only get worse the more her health and ability to care for herself falters. You probably should start looking into her nursing home options now so that if something happens she'll have a place to go. I also know people who have their parents in group homes, though in both of those cases the parents had non-violent dementia. [/quote]
