Can I join this board too?

My mom is mentally and physically ill. She lives in a family care facility. Similar to a nursing home and she is 54 years old. Chat Icon

I am her POA, so I pay her bills, get the stats on her health, etc. She was doing a little better and recently had another setback and was hospitalized.

She was a great mom and when my dad divorced her 6 years ago she tried to commit suicide 5 times ion one year. He last attempt we think caused some mental and physical damage. It is so sad. All she ever wanted was to be a grandma and even though she is Gracie's grandma, she is a complete different person.

I miss the mom I grew up with. It is so sad to see someone you love suffer and slowly slip away. Chat Icon

Thanks girls.Chat Icon

It has been hard for years and when I was preggo and even now it is so sad. Plus that fact that my mom is so young (54 yrs old) make this even more heartbreaking.

Not to mention the fact that my dad is living with the b!tch who broke up my family. Chat Icon
I don't blame my dad and his girlfriend for my mom's poor choices, but it is very hard for me to be in the same room with this woman. She has said and done so many horrible things, the list is endless.

Some days are better than others and I am sure all of you can relate.

I am so sorry Dina. The whole process must be very heartbreaking for you. I remember the final months of my mom's illness and watching her suffer and evolve into a completely different person was actually worse than the act of actually losing her for good. It is very hard to see someone that way.

It is really painful so I emphasize.Chat Icon Chat Icon

Dina, you must be so strong to be able to take care of your mom this way.
