[quote=Anonymous]Don’t blame yourself, OP. You can’t force a grown human being to do anything. A lot of us are in the same boat as you with elderly parents who are dealing with ailments they have due to not taking care of themselves. I moved my mom closer in 2022 and got her set up with my primary care doctor, a neurologist, a cardiologist, an ophthalmologist and a dentist, none of which she’s done for herself. And I made those appointments for her. Guess what- in 2022 at the age of 80(!) she had her teeth cleaned for the first time. I know it sucks picking up the pieces but you have no blame here. Oh and my mom also has vascular dementia and has had a stroke in the past. I’m pretty sure that would have been her outcome even in the best circumstances.[/quote]
