[quote=Anonymous]I know exactly how you feel. My mom came to live with me for a few months and I resented every moment of it. She wasn’t even a difficult person but it ended up being like taking care of another kid. Is she paying you? One thing that made it slightly more bearable was that she paid me rent so I could at least cover the cost of cleaners that had to come more, more food, more utilities,…. But she is on a very limited SS and then I resented that what she paid me was nowhere the rent I could get if I rented out a floor of my house (she had her own basement suite), plus all the other expenses. I felt cornered because my one sibling wouldn’t take her so she had literally no place to go. She didn’t make enough to rent a place and was not able to live independently. It sounds terrible but the saving grace was that she fell, went to the hospital, and I worked with the social worker there to get her into a nursing home that takes Medicaid. She got into one close by and I still see her nearly daily, take her to the doctor, but it’s on my own terms. [/quote]
