I do understand what you are saying, she is acting like she is on deaths door, but oops not really. I think i would tell her that you are no longer able to discern what is real or what is memorex, she needs a professional staff (NH). Your skill set is not up to the task. It is hard to walk away, suppose they die...yea suppose they do. We are all headed to that destination. Does she have one of those medical alert thingies? That way you could just tell her over the phone, push your button.
And i don't understand why any one would want someone to wait on them hand and foot, someone they supposedly love. I would think that IF you loved someone you would want them to have the fullest and happiest life they possibly can have.

I could just say "evict her" Sorry you made that promise to your Dad before he died but for yoour future health she has to be got out from under your roof. It won't be easy and she will be viscious. Next time she wants to go to the ER call 911 and have the ambulance take her and refuse to pick her up. It will be hasstle and a struggle and lots of people will not be very nice to you. Does she have money to pay for assisted living? if so find a facility and tell her she is going. you may need your big girl panies and a helmet but you can do it with hubby to back you up. No one deserves this kind of abuse. Drs are very good at patting you on the shoulder and reassuring you it is all part of getting old etc. That's why I carry a big hand bag so i can hit them over the head when I say NO and mean it.
