[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is her quality of life like? Can she walk? Go to the bathroom alone? Do you have a sibling who could take her in for a month or two to give you a break?[/quote] If siblings have no interest in taking a parent in, there is no need to ask. They set their boundary. OP mentions she could never put her mom in a home. There are places that offer housing for those with lower financial means too and my friend was surprised to find one that was recently built in her area and quite nice. Be careful about saying words like "never." It's a lot easier to visit someone and be cheerful and kind when she isn't in her your house 24-7. You don't want to do in your own health for mom's sake especially if you are already resentful. Senior Daycare is an option as well.[/quote]
