[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog is an excuse, OP, and you know it. It's OK to recognize you don't want the travel hassle for someone who hasn't been making the right decisions with her life. If you truly think your mother and yourself would be better off if she was closer to you... then you need to make it happen. Just present it as a fait accompli. "Mom, I chose Y place near my house, and I'm moving you in on X date. You're going to love it." [/quote] I have seen this play out where the parent falls apart at the move, doesn't adjust and then dies. You have to be ready for anything. So it's not a matter of one solution is the right solution. You figure out what you can handle, gather as much info as possible and go there. Also, if you do move her I wouldn't just put her on anxiety meds (which you cannot do against her consent), but I would get a therapist for you because it can turn into no good deed goes unpunished.[/quote]
