Her house is a mess. She just doesn't care about taking care of things anymore and neither do I. It's not aging in place, it's rotting in place.

4dogs, I'm truly sorry you're having such an awful time with your husband.

Me too! This site has so many critics! As my counselor said until they know the whole story they should shut their pie holes! 2 weeks ago my doctor said she would get me help and crickets! This is no hope! With Trump cutting back all social programs I am up Shitt's Creek! I am sailing the ship along with an old, ugly, lying SOB that wasn't even given a dementia diagnosis from his last testing! She said she found him to be a very pleasant man? Her pleasant patient has been dropped by 6 doctors for lying! I was told to divorce him but 10 lawyers have said you are in no condition, any shape or form to get divorce!
I told my daughter get ready because this woman will be calling her! She said she apparently can't smell? She is also a licensed counselor!

We're all here, A., and anxious to hear what's going on in your daily story. Send us a vent of steam any time you like. It's one of the perks of being an "ongoing" member. There are days for EACH of us that are just so overwhelming, and we just need to tell someone that. When there's no one who's there to tell, do tell US.

Abuser, taking care of 2 homes is difficult, especially when you are dealing with someone that doesn't help take care of their own.

You have been through the ringer with your mom and her shenanigans, no wonder you are burned out.

Take care of you and plan something to look forward to in the near future, something that makes you feel happy to be planning and preparing for, it really helps and then enjoy your treat, whatever it is it needs to be about you only and mom doesn't know about it.

(((Great big warm hug)))

Alva she is safe. I think I was venting. We get along more now than we used to, but do get frustrated with her and wish she would do more. I have spoiled her to some degree and have only myself to blame.
Hopefully she won't need to go into a facility any time soon or at all. I just know she knows I'm not moving in with her in the event she needs 24/7 care.
tbh I was just reaching out to you all here.

Rbuser, if your venting and just blowing off steam, I hear ya, we all have bad days, your not alone. It sounds like mom is giving up and understandably you are too. Maybe it's time for a facility?? Maybe fill us in with more or ask any questions.

If you're tired of keeping up the façade, then just stop. Walk away from the situation and let APS take over her care and the situation.
You will be glad you did.
I wish you well in waking away and taking your life back.

R, if she isn't safe anymore, have you considered a call to APS. It's hard for me to tell what is happening now that is new for you, and hard to remember what you have done in past to address this, that hasn't worked. Maybe you are just needing a shout out to vent that this all is just an awful s-show and you are feeling totally helpless. I am so sorry it's going so bad. Any clues as to what might help?
