[quote=Anonymous]PP 8:15. Rally support for yourself and establish all boundaries NOW. Can you get Family Medical Leave? I was granted 200 hours to help my 87 widowed mother. Got her moved to assisted living, then independent living and now selling her house. She was fiercely, stubbornly independent and in denial of her age and limitations until she got sick - then things changed literally overnight. It was harder for my mom to maintain her house; she had a yard guy, a handyman, a car mechanic but thought her cleaning lady was price gouging her, so fired her. Relied upon neighbors to take out her trash, shovel her walkway, anything, really. If I came by for a visit, I’d be handed a list of items to fix or tend to. Are you expected to drop everything and run to your parent? Is there an intermediate step? Can you accompany your parent to doctor appointments? Do you have power of attorney?[/quote]
