Meals on wheels won't deliver to them. You have to be low income. They can't qualify for any type of free help and that is what they want. They have the income to pay someone and won't . I am just about to the end of my rope. I am beginning to have severe headaches that are leaving me weak and nauseated.

Maggie - My heart goes out to you and your story is such a common one and so difficult to deal with. I'm assuming you are the only one available to help them?

You certainly cannot continue paying for their groceries, etc - especially when they have the funds to do so. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of you and this will only get worse.

I would call the local elder services in your town and meet with one of their social workers. They can give you advice on what to do next. There are programs such as Meals on Wheels which are a minimal cost and are delivered directly to the door. They can truly help you - they were a lifeline for me and even went so far as to meet with my mother and me together as she would not listen to me when I was alone.

Hugs to you and hope you can get some help. Take care of yourself as best you can - you are a wonderful daughter and your parents are blessed by all you have done for them.
