[quote=Anonymous]It’s awful when elders make decisions that you know will have a terrible impact. The fact is, competent adults are allowed to make bad decisions, and it doesn’t sound like she has any motivation to change. I think you are right to speak to her doctor about depression- is there a better medication? But you still won’t be able to make her take it. She’s probably lost so much muscle mass and balance that starting is overwhelming. I was able to get my grandmother into water PT. If your mom becomes receptive, that might be a place to start. OP, you are an attentive and loving daughter, but you aren’t responsible for what you can’t control. You need to give yourself a break. You can remain engaged with your mother, you can ask questions, offer suggestions, and then let her no be no.[/quote]
