[quote=Anonymous]Thank you. That's a very good suggestion. I actually hadn't thought about doing elder care planning for myself and by myself. When the kids were young, we invested in a very strong will, which we've revised several times as the kids grew. That always gave me peace of mind, so I imagine having a solid plan will do the same, and can create some boundaries, too. I have one sibling who lives on the west coast. She's not been able to get anywhere w/Mom either (she tends to be a little harsher in her interactions, and the long distance makes these fraught conversations especially tough). But she has said she'll back me up on anything I need, which I appreciate. Yeah, I think there's a ton of shame and fear on Mom's end. I hear you that I need to manage my own emotions. I suppose my way of doing this until now was by never pushing so hard I got upset. Now that we are entering a new phase, I'll need to find a different way to keep a cool head. Appreciate it. [/quote]
