[quote=Anonymous]OP. You know what you can and can’t handle and I say listen to that carefully. I didn’t know what I was getting into when I said I’d help and it’s left me a shell of myself. My mother is 3K miles away and my sister lives in the same place. My sister said to me “Mom asked me if she was difficult”. Difficult? She’s in assisted living and everyone is her slave now. She refuses to walk. If her remote drops, she rings her buzzer or calls for my sister. My sister was sick recently and my mother didn’t even care. THAT is what living with the declining elderly is like - they can’t help but be stubborn, difficult, demanding, etc. I remember my father demanding my disabled mother help him out of bed. Anything to keep from having to sell the home and hire help. [/quote]
