Obesity is a disease just as any other. Call the ADA AND ASK FOR HELP TO PLACE HER. THEY MUST ACCOMODATE HER

You go ahead and vent and whine. You are not alone and most of us understand.

Are you still seeing the therapist? Does it help?

The fact is, you MUST get out of this situation, for your mother's sake, and for yours. It is, indeed, unhealthy (for both of you). Is she on a waiting list for the facilities than can handle her? That would be a good first step.

Can you go to college and support yourself? Where will you live? At 25 you need to be self-supporting. Student poverty is a suitable lifestyle for now, if you can manage it.

You are facing two practical issues: how to get mother placed where she will get the best care available for her, and how to manage to get your education.

And you have a huge emotional challenge. A therapist can help with that.

I feel badly for you, trapped in this seemingly unsolvable and somewhat desperate situation. I really don't have any suggestions at this time, but I'm sure others will.

Normally Medicaid could be a solution in finding a placement but if her weight and incontinence are issues, I don't know what any alternatives are.

I feel for you; it's very difficult and depressing to feel trapped in this kind of situation.
