[quote=Anonymous]You are not a terrible person, OP. You are a giving and generous one, and a wonderful daughter, to have cared for your mom for so long. That is an incredibly special gift. But her symptoms (and your own mental and physical exhaustion) are telling you that you need more help. There is no shame in making her team of caretakers larger, or in finding a facility that can better help keeping her safe and comfortable. You will still be taking care of your mom if she moves to a different place -- it's just that you won't be doing the minute-by-minute care. Which will free up more of your energy for being present in a patient, cheerful way. Do it. It will be a gift for you both.[/quote]
