[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I so get it and have felt this way too. I had that level of anger, indignation and frustration too. Sadly, what forced me to detach was my own serious health issues. They made these choices of sound mind. Now they will live with the consequences. Do not set yourself on fire to keep them warm. I did and got burned. Let it bring you peace that you tried to prevent this.[/quote]

I'm seeing this happen to my mother. She is in her 70's and taking care of my grandmother who is 100 years old. Every 2 months she travels 5 hours to take care of my grandmother. It's running her ragged and her back is now constantly hurting. But she promised her mother that she would never put her in a home.
I forsee having to take care of my mother in 5-10 years. She also asked me to never put her in a nursing home. But she refuses to sell her 5 bedroom home that's falling into disarray. I found an apartment that's 5 minutes from my house but my mother can not live without a garden.[/quote]
