[QUOTE="Star*, post: 406514, member: 4964"] Honey - I usually know what to say......but.......um......wow......Rubber pants huh? What would happen if your Mom and Dad said - NOOOOOOOOO? No to the boxes, no to the help, no to the moving in, no to everything and said "look, I'm sick, and this is not happening." ? I guess maybe you can only change the things you (YOU) have control of. Do you think there is any chance you can look for a new job? One that you would actually like? I'm really sorry about your son......our kids have the worst timing in the world. I promise he didn't plan it....it just happens. This may be one of those times when he's going to have to grow up and do things on his own without Mom. I had to do that to Dude - it wasn't actually all that bad - I had a stroke because of him - he had no choice. If your Gma IS in full control of her faculties and is insisting on filling her Depends? I think I would talk to her doctor or health care person about it? This could lead to all kinds of infections and health issues. maybe by coming at it from THAT point? And someone telling her how unhealthy it is - not to mention the smell? It would get her to understand that cost vs. cost of illness is not worth sitting in your own mess. Absolutely no disrespect meant. A lot of people are way better at dealing with and coming up with ideas for dealing with elderly - ask them. As far as the budget for assisted living? I believe (not sure) that there is a way to find funding for state assistance? Not sure again....or maybe a way to use some of this money to go towards that? Maybe someone here will know? Perhaps there are other options at this time your family is unaware of? With regard to your sweet Mom? I think she needs help - Maybe there is a state agency that can assist? Surely there has to be some funding available? Depending on how old she is and where you live - there has to be a council on aging in your area......call them - call the hospitals and ask - call your local governors office......maybe the agency on aging has help for your grandparents as well? Day care? Sending you hugs and hugs and hugs......and loads of love Star [/QUOTE]
