[quote=Anonymous]Yes I remember your post from before. I'm amazed that the church is doing this with anyone so elderly, but I suppose she is getting room and board in exchange for her "donation" so that's something. There's really no way to say it that will be well-received. So you accept that she will react badly and you will need to hold the line. You say "Mom, I can't manage having you live with us anymore. I will help you find an apartment. You need to stop donating so much to your church so that you can afford an apartment." And then she yells at you or cries or guilt-trips or calls you a bad Korean daughter or whatever, and you say "Even so, I can't host you anymore so you need to find an apartment." And over some time she gets used to it. I do think you'll have to take the lead on the apartment hunt. Put her name down on senior living waiting lists right now, do it today. [/quote]
