[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the U. S. Department of Justice, "Signs of Neglect Include: Dehydration, malnutrition, UNTREATED BED SORES, and poor personal hygiene"

They also have this number for help listed:
Eldercare Locator helpline 1-800-677-1116

And whatever state you are in has a state ombudsman office - google "[State] elder care ombusdman" and they can provide help.

FYI, she is getting medical treatment for her bedsores. [/quote]

Your full of b.s. OP.  And you seem to be very skilled at deflecting any criticism, or outright lying, which does not bode well for you.

You said yourself, right up front, ""Is it terrible that I secretly hope her bedsores do not heal, [b]despite me taking care of them,[/b] and get infected, and that “does her in”?"

It's obvious you are tired of caring for your mother and are not giving her proper care because you hope she dies.

If that isn't elder abuse I don't know what is.

Imagine if a parent said, "I am so sick and tired of my kid's Type 1 diabetes. I'm not going to get professionals to care for them because I secretly hope they will die so I won't have to worry about it anymore. Am I a "bad mom"

Wouldn't that parent be rightfully charged with child neglect/abuse?  Well, guess what OP ... you are doing the same thing to your mother.

At some point your mother will indeed die. And if it happens while she is under your neglectful "care" I hope you get charged criminally. Because that's what you are.

People treat their dogs and cats better than you are treating your mother. [/quote]
