[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 706605, member: 20487"] Somewhere: To compound this nightmare (pun intended), my mother is not co operative with anything. She is a hoarder, living in horrible conditions. I am not just worrying about her for the sake of being overprotective. She has steadily gotten worse all my life. She also is resistant to anything, ANYTHING, that is not her idea. She seems nice enough to people until they try to talk to her. she will get anxiety attacks if pushed. So, to make a long story short, I am surprised the city has not condemned her house. Nothing I say or do moves her to clean it up. And she is sick, a cancer survivor. I confronted her one time about how I worry and her reply was to ask why I worried? I said that I worried that something would happen to her like a fall or something. She said so what, and to that I said that if she fell and laid there and suffered and possibly died, I did not want to go through that. She got mad and said that many people die at home so what was the problem? I told her I did not want to be the one to find her and that if she was in another place possibly a nurse or someone might be able to find her earlier and help her. She is just to far gone to realize that the family suffers over this. And if I get the people from council on aging or someplace else involved, they would put her out of the house because it is so bad. And I do not have the heart to do that knowing it may just kill her. this is just so hard on top of homeless children who suffer as well. [/QUOTE]
