[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outlier. I would do anything  necessary to take care of my MIL.  It wouldn’t matter what others are doing.  It’s not about that.  It’s about her.  It would be about keeping my MIL safe and comfortable.  [/quote]

That is what the wife eventually did. Found the best solution. Just remember, you are not always the best solution, though you would probably hate to know that.[/quote]

And being left alone at home for 4 hours at a time every weekday is not safe for this MIL.  Team Wife for being willing to call BS on the rest of the family's delusions.[/quote]

Again.  This is FIL's life and this is Op and his sisters' mom that we are talking about.  There is a grieving process going on here and it can take a little time for a family to accept what is happening to their loved one.  I remember the day we place dad in a locked Alzheimer's ward.  It was horrible, sad but also something that I knew needed to be done.  We knew at that point that there was no choice.

You have to be a little bit patient with people.  This is not a "case" to them, this is a much beloved family member.[/quote]
