[quote=Anonymous]Can you pay for something to make their lives easier? Either respite care for your mom in their home, or something like their cleaning service so it frees up their time to help mom but still gets their housework done? If they expect you to come over and care for her yourself, you can be clear on your boundaries. "That isn't healthy for me or Mom. I'm perfectly happy to hire someone to come help out for X hours per week to get you the break that you need. Or, we can talk about putting her into an appropriate facility. That way you could all visit as you needed an enjoy your time with Mom." Hold your boundary line, OP. You've come a long way and are a really good person to be ready to help your mom out now at all.[/quote]
