[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: Does your MIL want to live as long as possible or live in her house as long as possible? Those aren't the same thing. I would urge you to consider what your ILs' ultimate goals might be...and if MIL goes first, FIL can move. If FIL's health collapses, have researched nursing homes where you are and health aide options here. I don't see how forcing a mentally ill, verbally abusive frail woman to move is actually going to be good for anyone--not her, not you, not DH who she isn't close to. It is late in the game to change the rather less than ideal path they are on--and really late for you tackle any underlying dysfunction. [/quote]
