[quote=Anonymous]Been there in a different way. Some ideas: 1.) Call her doctor and let the doctor know you are concerned about her level of anxiety and depression. Dr. can't talk to you, but will take that into consideration, evaluate and make recs. 2.) Set your boundaries. You are happy to do x, y and Z, but the constant complaining with no action wears you down. It's time for them to move. If they chose not to it's on them. Make it clear you do not have the money to help. They are perfectly capable of downsizing so they have more money. 3.) I assume they are disabled by dementia, physical disabilities or severe mental illness ? if they are not disabled, then don't enable them to behave like they are. "Mom, you can move to a smaller place so you have more funds. I am happy to call movers or help you find a place, but I will not listen to the endless complaining if you refuse to problem solve."[/quote]
