[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP posted a different thread recently. Is that correct OP? I remember the brother not caring if mom kills someone driving (horrible!!) It doesn't sound like OPs mom wants OP to be POA or anything and then mom is nutty. OP, therapy may help you figure out your boundaries. You can visit mom and be in her life, but you cannot protect her from all the poor choices she made while cognitively able to do so. It's the same when your children become adults. You can't help them unless they want to be helped. I have a parent making horrible choices who passes dementia screens. I also have a brilliant sibling who consistently makes horrifying choices in her own life and expects everyone to rescue her and pick up the pieces. I learned in therapy to stop enabling and to detatch with love.[/quote] Amen. Best advice of the thread. [/quote]
