My dad is in a nursing home (in the hospital right now) and I have my mom at home. Dad receives SS and a VA pension which is still not enought to cover his nursing home not to mention pay for mom's house and her needs. I was told by medicaid that with the pension he makes too much money. Where do I go from here? A lawyer? An advocate of some type?

Answers from our Experts

I am caring for my 81-year-old mother who lives with me. She is very controlling, wants to rule my life, and treats me like I’m still a teenager. Pointing this out to her doesn’t seem to do any good. What can I do?

You need the "Jacqueline Marcell emotional shield." Put it on every day, and then don't let anything she says bother you; all negativity has to bounce right off.
