I have been living with my mom for going on three years. I have done everything for her that she ask. I put my own life on hold for all this time since it seem too complicated to go after my goals in life, and also deal with mom, all her appts. and problems. Well I have decided that I truly want to move out. My mom is only 61 and is quite capable, and tends to all her personal care needs. I feel that it is time for me to move on. I;m also a single mom, raising a ten yr. old son. Us living all together has not been a pleasant experience. Even when I move I am more then willing to still take my mom to her appts. and help her with all her errands so I'd just like advice that my decision is appropriate. I know how I feel because I know everything I have went through in the past three years. My mom has a slight case of dementia. The only task she doesn't do anymore is drive and cook. Which I will still make sure to help her with all that, and her important needs are met. However I just need my own life back, and own private home. I really can't wait.
She can't cook any more. What about a service like Meals on Wheels? That is the kind of thing you should be looking into for her, rather than thinking you must provide all the services yourself.
Get your own life back.
