[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a similar situation, and it's very difficult. Between all the stairs Mom can't navigate safely, and the broken furniture she insists are treasures, and the piles of books and magazines and other belongings that gets furious if someone moves, the situation is absolutely unsafe. It's also unsanitary.

If we had a competence hearing, I'm not sure she'd be found to be competent. But she 100% believes she is. So what to do?

(No, like actually: what should I do?)[/quote]

NP in a similar situation, mom is out of state. I visited and tried to clean up, which went poorly. It's sad but my best hope is that the current situation continues for as long as possible, because they only way she's moving is if she gets hurt and has to enter a facility. Her choice to make, unfortunately.

I had to distance myself from it, because I used to be quite angry that she has created this very avoidable situation where a traumatic emergency move (at best) seems inevitable. I started talking with her about moving over 15 years ago. I no longer talk about it and I also no longer visit: we meet up outside the house.[/quote]
