[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp adding that communicating with the church was helpful for more than the meals. If the pastor told my mom to get help, it carried more weight than just me "nagging."[/quote] This OP. She's hearing you as white noise. It's not overriding her feeling of responsibility in taking care of him. Getting someone else who she sees as a trusted authority to discuss this situation is key. His/her doctors, their minister, etc. See if you can visit during his/her next doc appointments and somehow let the docs know what is happening in the home, the affect it is having on her. Or you do one and your sister do the other. The doctors may have more luck in convincing your mom that something needs to be done or this will escalate into something bad happening. His condition has progressed to needing professional full-time help at a memory care facility, more trained than she can provide. She can still see him every day.[/quote]
