[quote=Anonymous]We are just waiting for the big disaster with my mom. She has plenty of money but won't pay for any help. My siblings and I have offered numerous times to help her organize and declutter to whatever extent she would like, both for her own comfort and so she can have cleaners. We would gift her a top-of-the-line-safe and have it screwed to the floor if she's worried about her jewelry. Instead she would rather live with all her "stuff" and store her valuables in a sock drawer. It's maddening bc all she does is complain but every time we offer concrete help it's rejected. My dad had a terminal illness and it was truly terrible on both of them bc she couldn't care for him and he wouldn't accept outside help, even from the family. All this is to say, I have no advice, but I will be following this thread because you've asked an important question.[/quote]
