[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any recommendations, but I'd think you might be able to find a neutral third-party who could help. However your mother might be predisposed to resent any such person if it's someone she doesn't know and someone whom you picked... still, I'd start with your local or state council on the elderly and see if they can give you some ideas of how to proceed. Fwiw, my relationship with an elderly parent never deteriorated like this but we initially struggled with our father over whether he should move out of his house or not, and over driving. He was very defensive. As his capabilities deteriorated, he actually became easier to deal with - because he started to realize that he did need help. In the end, it was a huge process, but he is so much happier now. I never would have believed it a few years ago. Hope you can find a positive way forward.[/quote]
