[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 60131, member: 1514"] I also know this one well. My mother was a difficult child to the max. I wont bore you with the details but not only was she my abuser but Im an only child too. When she developed alzheimers it was left up to me to become her sole caretaker. I moved her into my home in April of 2001 and quit my job. Because of my health conditions, the stress of taking her on simply did me in. My husband and kids were a life saver however. They really stepped up to the plate. Between the 5 of us we were able to keep her in the home until she became too frail to even recognize what a dog was and became a fall risk. At that time we placed her in a nursing home. It isnt easy being in the sandwich generation. You do the best you can. [/QUOTE]
