My mom is 76 Has mild bipolar if that's possible. I do everything. Because she is overweight her legs hurt and arms from just laying in bed 21/7 . Yes I try to get her out. But now I have a boyfriend and she wants to meet him which is such a bad Idea Im 50 yrs old I need a friend that I don't loose. I have only 1 friend left. Because my mom drove them away. She is mean and rude I say she should not meet him until were engaged or married. I know she is scared jealous and hates being alone. But is able to do this all by herself.
I take care of Mom 24/7/365 and my only social life is with my brothers (with Mom included) and out of state friends that I keep up with via phone and computer.
If you have a chance at a LIFE....Grab it! Mom will get over it eventually.
