[quote=Anonymous]Figure out what you are willing to do without resentment and figure out your boundaries. You said she was complicit in abuse so factor that in. Your boundary can even include not being willing to take time from your own family at all. Contact the council on aging and adult protective services in her area to find out what is available for free for her. APS will do free check-ins, but it's her choice whether or not to open the door. One of my aunt-laws was difficult, stubborn and had abusive tendencies with her children. She refused all services provided and was declining quite a bit. She died earlier than expected, but on her terms while she still had some independence. I can't imagine she would have been better off declining into having no independence at all and suffering quite a bit. [/quote]
