[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there’s no obligation for you to house her. [/quote]

Legally in the US kids have to support their senior parents, (it does vary, state by state) but still, she doesn't have to put her in her own home, for sure. [/quote]

Is this true?[/quote]

many states have filial responsibility laws on the books. dc and maryland do not. virginia and pennsylvania do.

She does not have to have her mom in her home. If the mom cannot afford fancy residential, you check with the council on aging for options. You make it clear the behavior is potentially abusive and not something you can have in your home. The state cannot force abuse on you in your home. Then it turns into calling Adult Protective Services every time she gets nasty so you document it all and it ends becoming costly for the state.

Stop scaring OP. There are options.[/quote]
