[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP.  I don't get the vitriol towards you.   You are in a difficult and stressful situation and of course you can't shut down your whole life to save unwilling adults.  Your parents are reaping the harvest  of years of poor decisions.   You need a therapist or some other support to help you figure out what emotional and logistical support you are able to offer so you can spend the remaining time you have with them in peace.

Same, OP.  I won't read past page 2 on this, but the pile-on so far is way over the top, even by DCUM standards.  You are right: the situation is terrible and the social worker knows that.  Pretending the problem is you is plain old gaslighting. [/quote]

The social worker can guide OP but ultimately it is on OP, not on the social worker.  You clearly don't get how this works.[/quote]

I’m not her daughter or her legal medical proxy. It’s up to my aunt and to the hospice social worker.[/quote]

The hospice worker cannot make medical decision for her.  And, yes, you can step in and have.  You need to stop if you don't want to actually help.  [/quote]

I cannot make the legal decision. They told me she has to be totally incapacitated mentally, like in a coma or incoherent.[/quote]
