[quote=Anonymous]I honestly went through this over the summer. I was helping my mom all the time. Taking her to the doctor, getting her groceries, helping her with the shower, getting her medicine… It’s a lot. I have a high schooler and college aged kid too, and work full time. We talked about it over the summer, and her health kept declining. I couldn’t keep doing it. Ultimately, we moved her into a facility. She was not happy about it. She didn’t speak to me for about a month. But she has gotten over her anger and resentment. I told her that it wasn’t fair to me or my family to have to care for her. I could not keep doing it all. She understood, but she really wanted to stay in her home. I’m not going to lie, it was a really difficult transition for her. It’s a really hard position to be in. Good luck navigating.[/quote]
