[quote=Anonymous]With my mother I had to decide it's her well being or mine and I finally chose mine. Sure the Dr. said "leave her be" because he figures you will suck it up and take anything she dishes. I would hire an expert and find a residential situation she can afford, there are nice ones that adjust based on income level. Let her hit rock bottom with anxiety so she is willing to take the meds. It may sound cruel, but again it's her or you. Do you want to sink into serious depression or have a nervous breakdown?

My mother keeps taking herself off meds. Then friends distance themselves, doctors refuse to work with her (she can be nasty off meds unlike your mom) and she dissolves into a ball of rage and anxiety. Then she decides to go back on meds and she can function in society again and people are willing to be around her.

I know that feeling of complaining to the experts and it falls on deaf ears because they just assume you will put up with anything and it's easiest to just let things be. You have to make it so that if mom refuses to treat her mental health issues she will have to deal with natural consequences.[/quote]
