[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom started going downhill around 80 but it coincided with Covid and she lives on the west coast so it took a while for me to really understand she could no longer live in her own…I also was unable to convince my brother until I showed him that she had essentially been scammed out of 200k. It was hard but I convinced her to move near me and took charge of her home l, financial affairs etc. she now hates me for it but she’s clearly experiencing decline. I’m flattened like a pancake between work kids and her and she’s so self centered (always has been) ; it’s like I don’t even exist except to tend to her needs and imagined ailments. It’s unpleasant and will only get worse…But at least I can keep an eye on things. Funny thing is that my stepsister took care of her mom with dementia and my mom used to say “I’d never do that to you, just stick me in a home and live your life.” Now she’s nearby, calls 4 -5 times a day, complains if I’m not there etc.

I told dh I want to explore continuing care communities so we won’t burden our kids.[/quote]

Wow on the scam! What kind?[/quote]
