[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's very hard to get help or to see clearly from within the fog of being abused. Your father's medical condition makes things much worse, but also may progress such that your mom is no longer in a position to care for him. My mom "woke up" and decided she wanted out of my dad's control and financial abuse in her mid-70s. TBD if she will succeed. The best thing you can do for your mom, IMO, is support her verbally while maintaining whatever boundaries you need for your sanity. You cannot make her want what she doesn't want. A good book about abusive men that seems to truly care about the experience of women who are in their lives is "why does he do that."[/quote]
