[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very sorry, OP. You need to prioritize yourself. I'm in a similar situation, and sometimes I feel the only reason I'm still alive is that my kids still need me.

I'm not quite sure what prioritizing oneself means, in the context of straightened funds, demands on one's time and an abusive spouse... but I listen to classical music, try to read good books and uplifting movies and spend time with my friends and children.

Is your mother on a waitlist for the appropriate government facility? She needs to be. You can't kill yourself trying to do everything, poor dear.

She can have in home care covered up to 24/7 but she refuses. Same for a home, she refuses and it would be sad for her. [/quote]

PP you replied to. But she doesn't have a choice, OP. You will impose one of these choices for her, by trickery or persuasion. You can lie to her if need be. You need to attend to your own divorce (because you will do that too), and you cannot focus on your divorce and your aging mother at the same time.

Also check with a lawyer how long your ex can mooch off you if he's unemployed. I imagine it's not for ever, right?

12 years…[/quote]

Really? 12 years? I had a close relative divorce recently and it was three years. I’d double check that.[/quote]
