[quote=Anonymous]It took my moms few months to finally come to terms with her own limitations. But no longer driving is SUCH a huge emotional issue for them and it’s a lot. It’s the end of their independence and they lose some control. And it’s scary to have to rely on others for groceries and other necessities. With my mom the biggest issue was the liability. I was very clear that if she caused an accident she could lose everything and the nest egg she had saved up that was paying for her independent living place would be at risk. She actually flat out refused to return to a neurologist who told her that he was legally obligated to notify the state if she underwent testing through him. It took over two years to convince her to allow me to take her back (to a different neurologist) for cognitive decline.[/quote]
