It sucks. Been trying to get them into a facility for almost 2 years now, but moms been resisting (stepdad is a virtual vegetable at this point) the whole time ("things are fine, were doing ok" she said after back to back broken arms last year), and she's deteriorated rapidly in the last 6 months. I may have to get guardianship to get them into a place for the full time care they both need, and aren't getting.

@1of5 sometimes you Must do things they will short-term hate you for, like a parent preventing a child from drowning. Better to know they are taking their meds properly and not burning down the house!

@AnneWimsey yup, sometimes things just blow, and that's the way it is.

@1of5 worry & stress are hastening bad things........
