[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother lived with us when I was in college, she had dementia and was a widow (except my mother is one of 5, why we had to take her wasn't told to me). My parents had a good, solid marriage before, and it was terribly difficult on the entire family. It was really, really awful, even for me and I wasn't even living there full time. It almost ruined my parents' marriage. The fighting, the stress, the burden, it's a lot to ask of anyone. If you are in the DC area, there are tons of assisted living communities/condo buildings around here. I would try to find some close to you. Then your MIL could keep some form of independence and make friends her own age. You could also see her regularly, but have your own space.[/quote]
