[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 416303, member: 1514"] Obviously your Aunt is more aware than my mom was but when my mom went into the nursing home I just had a shut down period and the nursing home hated me completely. I think..no I know...that I had done all that I could do for my mom by the time she had to be placed in the nursing home and the whole facade of going into the home and play acting as if we were this loving family just completely sent me around the bend. I did it for about two weeks and then I just couldnt step foot inside the building ONE MORE TIME. She didnt have a clue who we were. People would say how wonderful I was, how she was so lucky to have me, how lucky I was to have her...blah blah blah. I couldnt take one more comment and I snapped. I made sure she had her clothes, signed papers as needed and allowed the kids to go see her. Cory went and ate with her a couple of times a month. I just couldnt do it. The staff gave me hell. They called me every name in the book and tried to call adult protective services on me. I beat them to the punch and went to see the head social worker at DSS and poured out my story. They told me that if a report came in they wouldnt take it. I had done my duty. I never heard another thing until they called to tell me my mother had gone to the hospital and died. I didnt even know she was sick but that is for the best. I tried to explain to the head people at that nursing home what our family dynamic was but either they didnt believe me or they just couldnt believe it could happen. I dunno. [/QUOTE]
