Its your time now and God bless you for all your kindness, but this "job" has truly become unmanageable for you. Its justvtoo much and not fair. I know you love her but the Adult Protective Services will get you the help both she and you need with dignity! Take care and let us know how it all turns out! Sincerely, Stacey B

Liesl4, how did you start being a full-time live in Caregiver for this friend? Are you being paid for all your work? Since you have been living at this friends house for all those years, of course everyone is going to assume you are the primary Caregiver.... thus, the daughters feel everything is running smoothly and they don't want to overstep their bounds which might rock the boat. Sounds like a lack of communication.

I agree with Gladimhere above, give the daughters 2 weeks notice that you will no longer be available to help out. Contact all of the daughters, both by phone and by certified mail, so no communication is lost.

Hope everything works out for the best.

Call Adult Protective Services. Tell them you have been taking care of everything for ten years and you are no longer willing or able to care for her. Give them the daughters contact information, tell APS that other arrangements need to be made. Do not just leave, you coukd be charged with abandonment. Tell them they have a specific amount of time, maybe two weeks to figure out how and who or what facility will care for her. Make sure you tell them you have contacted daughters and do not receive any sort of response. I am sorry you are in this situation, but you can get out, just make sure you do it responsibly.
