BUT ITS BREAKING MY HEART..... IM DYING TO GET ANY ADVICE OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS?
Now get your Mom approved for Medicaid, if she isn't already. With her health issues she might be able to go into a nursing home which Medicaid would help pay for that cost. If Mom is only qualified for an assisted living, see if Medicaid could help pay for some of that cost, with Mom paying the remainder. If Medicaid says no to that, than ask if Medicaid could send someone out to help your Mom for a couple hours during the day.
Also contact your county agency on aging for programs, such as Case Management, Meals on Wheels, Adult Day Care, housing, care referrals, etc,... go to the website link below.... click on your State.... now click on the city/county. https://www.agingcare.com/local/Area-Agency-on-Aging
Moving her out will reduce your stress, make your children happier and probably lower your husband's blood pressure plus lessen his anger about all of this. What does he think needs to happen? I bet he is ready for her to move somewhere else where she can be cared for. Her dementia is only going to get worse which will only stress you out even more.
Although you are not saying this directly, it sounds to me like your mother has you emotionally blackmailed into keeping her right where she is. You need to do a site search here about emotional blackmail. It probably would not hurt to see a therapist to help you get past the irrational guilt.
Keep in touch and let us know how things are going.
