[quote=Anonymous]As mentioned, you make it clear to the hospital you do not feel she is safe in her home and you are you need FIRM boundaries about your role. They cannot release her to unsafe environment, but they can try to guilt trip you into doing more than you can handle and keep in mind their needs increase exponentially. I disagree with the person who says it's her life/her choice. That always goes along with the assumption that an adult child can be superhuman and upend their life for every emergency. You make it clear what the dangers are and make it clear you cannot be there for all the emergencies. If the social worker decides it is safe, that is on her not you. If she goes to a nursing home and complains, I can attest the fact those who go home complain endlessly too. Some people can adjust well to all the stressors of aging, some can't. Meds help.[/quote]
