[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do anything proactively for her. I would simply respond to the neighbors that you are not involved and that they should ask the state to handle it if they continue to be concerned. [/quote]

[i]How could you turn your back on your own mother like this? [/i]Wow.

[b]I have a horrible relationship with my mother. I still see her and suffer.[/b]

To the OP, she may eventually need to go into a nursing home. I would at least make sure she moves to one.

My dad’s health is deteriorating and he would need to be in a home if he were alone. He gets 50-60 hours of home aid care, my brother helps him probably 20 hours and my mom does the rest. My dad needs around the clock care. I live out of state. I help out financially. We paid off the house and pay all the bills. My parents get social security, which pays for their food. I also gave them my credit card and they charge a few hundred on various things per month.[/quote]

That sounds really unpleasant and like the sort of things that may have negative impacts on either you personally or the family you've formed. Not everyone balances those interests in the way you do, is the answer to your question. [/quote]
