[quote=Anonymous]In my family's case, my stubborn and emotionally abusive mother refused to be moved from our family home. Our father was more than willing but he always, always, gave into her childish tantrums. He was in much better health and she was on god knows how many medications and declining rapidly. Eventually my oldest sister tricked mom into giving her POA and along with my dad sold the house and moved into a senior community where mom could get the extra help she needed. Dad recovered a bit of a social life through the clubs and such and mom just sat in their apartment getting angrier and angrier. They're both gone now, but I wish we had affected this changed years earlier when my Dad could have enjoyed much more of his declining years in peace. Even after selling their home and factoring in their income used to pay for the new residence, we still had to come out of pocket about 1,000 a month from each adult child to keep it going smoothly.
