[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses, but it's also time to talk to aging professionals about exploring residential places where they can ensure she is medicated and safe. My mother was just abusive toward me mostly, but when I stepped back more she was abusive toward others. You cannot take advantage of the kindness of others. They want to help assuming she will be a kind and appreciative old lady and you get that warm fizzy feeling. Nobody should be put in harms way. You al least need to warn them about the behaviors for their own safety.

She needs to be evaluated and medicated. Beware of the age in place agencies that sell you the moon and instead find an aging expert to help you find a residential match and that person can help ease her into the idea.Otherwise the behaviors will get worse and while you can't always protect them from thelselves, you must protect others from them. Also, someone needs to be checking on her reflexes, etc periodically to make sure she continues to be safe to drive.[/quote]
