[quote=Anonymous]I am dealing with this too, and I empathize OP. Buried my father, my FIL, and now my 83-y-o mother who lives close by needs a lot of help, but I can only do so much with work and two small kids. She still lives at home, but is in the ER several times a year, forgets everything (not Alzheimers) and is a sucker for all kinds of online scams. I have taken over her bills and the PP who said it is more work than his/her own bills had it right! Still, she cannot afford the cost of a decent assisted living facility that is nearby. So we are trying to make things work with her living in her own home for now. It is overwhelming and I second-guess myself a lot. There is no other family or siblings to help. At some point she may deteriorate so that she cannot live alone. [/quote]
