[quote=Anonymous]You are not to blame OP. You cannot force another adult to do what you think is best - whether they're your child, spouse, parent, friend, etc... It sucks when you know they are not taking good care of themselves, but it's critical to remember that they are independent adults. (Until they're not, of course...) With my mother, I decided I had to take comfort in knowing that she had the dignity of independence and decision-making right up until the end - even though I strongly disagreed w/ many of the choices she made in her final months. In the end, she lived the way she chose - so I take comfort in supporting her ability to do that. Good luck. It's a long hard path but it's critical that you try to spare yourself the guilt wherever/whenever possible. [/quote]
