[quote=Anonymous]Does she pay for her expenses? When my mom lived with us, she paid me most of her social security. It allowed me to hire a housekeeper and went towards food and utilities. Ultimately, it was not enough to compensate me for all the work—as you say, I was Uber, scheduler, cook, maid, social support, tech support, plus landlord. She did not make enough money to compensate me for all that and I felt resentment and taken advantage of. Ultimately, she fell and cracked her skull. I refused to take her back in and worked with the hospital social worker to get her into a Medicaid accepting nursing home. She spent down her assets and applied for Medicaid and was accepted. I live nearby and still function as scheduler and driver and social support, but it’s on my own terms. I would have sacrificed my own mental health if she had continued to stay with me.[/quote]
