...Read MoreThanks, guys, I did talk with my husband to run a few "scenarios ", like where do you see her staying? (all our BR's are on the second floor) and who will be here during the day? and a list of nursing services and the cost... It didn't take him long to consider alternatives, when HE was the primary caregiver.We also had a long talk about the way we want to live and who we allow to disrupt it. He spoke with her today and told her he thought an assisted living home would be best and she suddenly began feeling stronger and had friends and neighbors whom she loves and spends time with. Then this morning she called and asked to go with me today because she has no no one to talk to (4hr drive both ways) to visit my grandbaby ( the one she screams at for singing) I polietly said no,but I wanted to scream NO WAY! anyway I digress, I am getting better at not being manipulated and appearently she isn't as sick and weak as she pretended.
Also I am going to get some counseling and I'm checking on services that she is eligible for that will keep her in her own home.
And Lisa will always be with me, I was like her second mom, so putting her anywhere would destroy her, and she is mentally impaired but she is a also a sweet sweet kind soul, who never raises her voice or complains or is rude.
I really appreciate this site!!!!
