[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When there's also a layer of feelings of guilt and failed responsibility, it makes the decision to let go even harder. [/quote]

Also, add in the layer of denial.  I have seen this firsthand with my dad, who's in a progressive decline with dementia and lives in a nursing home.  He relies on others for his care, is wheelchair bound and can't speak.  My mom tells everyone in her circle (neighbors, anyone who asks, friends) that he is in a rehab center (partially true, yes, his nursing home contains such a center) and that he's recovering from a fall.  Again, true - he did fall and did receive post op rehab briefly, but truly he's in an inpatient, long-term, skilled nursing care for dementia patients hospital like facility.  Too hard for my mom to face reality, so she just tells everyone this and herself, too.  Sad.[/quote]

I think you are being way too hard on your mom. What she tells other people and what she knows to be true could be two different things. She may just not want or need to get into it with other people. I'm sorry about your dad. [/quote]
