[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I feel for you. My mother is a similar age and  has always had some paranoia/blame issues so I have been reluctant to get a POA in part because I know that will give her an excuse to start blaming me for things/decisions. But it is important to get that and I am resolved to do that. I'd put that high on your list.

I would also look at retirement places pretty quickly. My mother moved to independent living a couple of years ago and it's actually been helpful from a socialization perspective. Plus it is continuing care so she can move to assisted living easily when the time comes. We looked at places for a few eyars and she moved a year or two later than she should have, but ultimately it was her decision to move.

Go home and take a break. It is exhausting.[/quote]
Thank you, it’s really comforting knowing I’m not the only one going through this. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to get a PoA. She is already accusing me of trying to take over and steal her money. She told me I have an “extravagant lifestyle” because I accidentally left a light on in the basement. I’m planning on seeing the attorney again who did dad’s (that we never got signed) and see if he has any ideas. Fortunately there are three good options for senior facilities here, so that may be the easiest part as long as she feels like it’s her decision.[/quote]
