[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless [b]you have had a mother like this (or you are professionally trained) [/b]I don't think you can possibly know what this feels like. It is not the same feeling as those who had parents that acted like adults and then you need to help them as they age. It is hard to explain unless you experience it.

After having my mother dependent on us in every way for quite some time and having my children experience the sadness and anxiety associated with her criticism of me combined with her constant reproach that no oneis doing anything for her, I have decided she cannot leave in our space and I have also decided to cut off finances for some time so she can manage the limited resources she has. I am also lucky to have a supportive dh who has stepped in to protect me from a lot of it and siblings who (while they find her equally toxic) are able to bear some of the physical burden.

OP -[b] care for yourself as much as you can as one of the hallmarks of a daughter in this situation is struggle with being OK with doing the most basic self care[/b].
