[quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived this- same situation to include being in Bethesda in the house I grew up in. But my dad had died so it was just my mom, and it wasn’t well maintained for years before he died. We had to sell the house as-is because I didn’t have it in me to put any time or money into it. They left a lot of money on the table but it is what it is. My mom finally moved into a place close to me when my biweekly visits to help her weren’t enough and I was unable (and frankly unwilling) to give her more of my time. It would take me 45 minutes to two hours each way to visit her. She needed more than I could give and she could only get it by moving closer. People who are saying to let them live where they want have obviously never been responsible for an aging parent who has physical and/or mental limitations.[/quote]
