[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody should subject their kids to elderly parents in their home.

I’m not being specific to you but I have posted this on this site many time.

They can be abusive and delusional… which means your children live in fear.

They take too much energy from your family, this is not the olden days when many family members pitched in so you had tons of support,

Eventually you will physically hurt yourself trying to lift/move/adjust them… throw your back out etc.

People think being in a “walkable community “ is good for them, but they can’t even cross the street safely… most pedestrian accidents are kids and elderly.

Good luck OP, but move her where the facilities are set up for care and trained staff can care for her.

I agree with this. A lot of people will post "you are setting an example for your children" and "they took care of us." Even when we just were seeing challenging parents often our kids were learning abuse is OK as long as it's family. Now they are learning abuse is not OK and we have strategies we can use to stop it as soon as it starts. It's OK to keep visits short and leave when they are no longer behaving.It's OK to join a support group and vent. It's OK to meet with the team, share your concerns about abusive behavior and find the right meds to curb the abuse. That is not drugging someone into a zombie. It's about having respect for those people who have to interact with this person and protecting them from physical and emotional abuse.[/quote]
