[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 547324, member: 84"] I think it's pretty fantastic, for both you and mother in law. You just never know, maybe this is the beginning of a totally new and pleasant relationship with her. :) Good for both of you. It's fairly easy to see someone like that, then look from the outside at their life....and think wth do they have to be that way about? And then be overly critical simply because you can't [B]see[/B] it to understand it. Honestly, I think it's human nature to do that....although most of us don't mean to. I think it's great that she's opening herself to new experiences and opportunities. You might be shocked when the caterpillar comes out of it's cocoon and you see a totally different person you thought you knew. My mom shocked me. I found out the other night that her main fear of being in assisted living is that they'll take her funds. Uh, no. That's not how it works. Hopefully in person I can explain it to her. U also think she's confusing senior apartments (which we have tons in this area that are both reasonable and nice) with assisted living. If it weren't for her thinking she has to turn her assets over to them, she'd hop at the chance........hmm. Would be good for her actually. [/QUOTE]
