Caring for mother-in-law with incontinence problems. Also hoards paper products - like toilet paper squares folded neatly in piles all over the house or napkins/paper towels piled up endlessly covering counter and tabletops.
She just keeps getting worse but refuses help and gets angry when I clean and throw away her "stuff".
Does not eat or sleep well - probably does not take medications regularly. Her son, my husband, has spoken with her but it continues.
There is no limit to what she will ask us to do for her. The world revolves around her regardless of the physical, emotional and financial burdens she has placed upon us.
We are trying to sell her home to get some money to hire outside help for our relief although she does not want that either. It has been a nightmare getting the house clean because of her hoarding and has taken us a year to get it ready for sale.
Think I have said enough - obviously, I am frustrated with her.
I am caring for someone, Agnes, who is 87 years old, living at home and the primary ailment is general age-related decline.
