My mom recently went into a nursing facility and well it has not gone well. She has walked out on numerous times and well she is driving me mad. I did not ask for all this that she dishes out. SHe is miserable, mentally ill and well is driving me insane from all her b***hing. SHe is my mom and i love her, but I have spent the last 30 years dealing with sucide attempts, walking out of facilites, hours of phone calls trying to talk some sense into her.ITs not working. I have throw years of hoarding away and now yet again she is mad.Its sad to say her craft obsession takes more then her own children. Even her sibling think that. I am considering getting me help as I cant do this anymore. M brother has stepped back because of this, leaving me to deal with her. What do I do?
Having an elderly parent in a NH is very stressful. Many people don't realize this. They think we dump our parents in a NH and then we go on our merry way but it just doesn't work like that. We're still caregivers. I would suggest that you talk with your brother and see if he can bring himself to step back in, for your sake if not your mom's.
