[quote=Anonymous]My mom is in Great shape for 88- health wise, cognitively, and physically. She will probably outlive me, I’m 60 with health issues.  She lives with us 6 months out of the year, the rest in Honduras doing mission work with her church.  I’ve shared with her that Honduras is a dangerous country and she should move either permanently to the USA or go to Korea where they have a great program for  seniors.  She doesn’t want to do either. She likes her “freedom” to come and go to include coming to stay with my family 5-6+ months.

I have 3 kids- 15,16, and 17. I don’t regret having them late in life but I’m tired snd stress. I no longer want my mother here, when she’s here she takes over and I have to explain a million things all over again.

I found out she’s been giving all her money from her pension to her church mission group. I’m beside myself, how is she going to afford a assisted living or nursing home? My brother is unemployed and won’t help. I don’t know what to do, I am getting mean because ai resent the fact I have to take care of her.

Has anyone had the conversation with their parent, telling them that they will also have to pay their own expenses when they find a place?  For us, I am able to help find a place for my mother and also help with minor expenses but not much.  I’m depressed over this, I still have college expenses coming up,[/quote]
