Dear Song bird,
I feel for you.
We went through this with my Mum last year, after my lovely Dad died, but added to the mix was the abuse she screamed at us if we tried to help. (long history of abuse). She wanted us to run her home as she never had and hadn’t a clue. Short story, she’s now in a nursing home. Because of the history and the distance I rarely visit. Sounds cruel and I struggle with guilt. She’s not happy and apparently is aggressive and prone to making allegations. But she is being looked after and they get extra funding to cover for safeguarding due to her behaviour. There is no other solution and even if she was lovely, I’m not well enough or young enough to look after her. There is no alternative. I am told I shouldn’t care, but I do.
