[quote=Anonymous]Don't move her near you if she is already at a care facility. You can hire someone to check on things and advocate as needed. Visit when you can. Nobody on the internet gets to judge you and guilt trip you. We all have our limits. Our parents had to leave us at schools/daycare/with sitters and trust. I can tell you I know plenty of people who even took in parents and found that even with regular caregivers they themselves lost it with their parents and eventually they felt a stranger could do better. There is no perfect. Also having been at this enough years and being in many support groups over the years (parents and one in law were DIFFICULT), there have been several cases where the families adamantly opposed residential care and the family caregiver abused the elder. One case the wife was verbally abusive to the point doctors and nurses got APS involved. In the other case the MOM BEAT the father. [/quote]
