My mom has started to be very offensive and it is getting very difficult to manage her at times. I really do not want to put her in a nursing home but I"m concerning that option. I can imagine that it is "Guilty" feelings that I am feeling for not thinking of that option seriously. I was in the prime of my career when I became ill. I had to come out due to my illness and shortly became care giver to her and myself. I am the only girl and the youngest and everything is on me. My two brothers does not help or come visit. My mother says that she does not want to stay at my ( our ) home when she is offensive. I try to take under consideration of her illness and say to myself that her illness is talking but it is very difficult. Due to my ( our) finances, I can afford having some to come into the home to help us, so I cry and talk to God and my girlfriend. Thanks for listening!!
