[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am asking because my mom lives very close to me, and I am feeling guilty that I don't visit with her more than 2-3 times per week. She is disabled, has no friends, and really very little social outlet other than my nuclear family. Although her situation is fairly unique and she probably warrants more visits than a parent that is well and sociable, I need some perspective to understand what the baseline is for most parents/adult children. [/quote] I wouldn't waste your time on guilt, OP. What I would focus on is trying to help her get connected socially. Maybe there is a volunteer program where someone would visit her once a week? Are there ways she can occupy her time like a hobby?[/quote]
