[quote=Anonymous]My mom is 77 and in an assisted living due to vascular dementia. I’m POA and her only child. When I read the posts about people loving and mourning their 94 year old parents, I can’t believe how lucky you all have been at life.

My mom has always been selfish, difficult, and mean. She’s always put herself first and never cared much about me or my feelings. She is entirely the same person with dementia. I do a lot of work for her and take good care of her. Even with her limited mental capabilities, she is still able to text me snarky things like “don’t you care about me?” And “you never called me today I’m going to bed”.

Our whole relationship is duty. I love her out of obligation. In my most private prayers, I pray she dies soon and quickly so that her miserable (no health issues, just a miserable person) life is over and I can move on in my own life without this caretaking.

I hope that gives some comfort to those who know the true love of an aging parent. [/quote]
