Am I nuts for considering bring mom home?
Currently in mem. care. Extremely depressed. Cries almost all the time. Says she wants family around. I visit 3-4x a week. She is almost 90. DH says the only thing that she will accept is my house. She is in a good facility and I can’t possibly replicate the care she gets even if I was willing to blow up my whole life. She can’t be alone but there she gets frequent check ins. I feel so bad for her. Was hoping she would adjust. Been 2 months. Maybe not long enough. Feeling guilty but don’t think my 60 yr old body can take this on never mind what will happen to my life. Almost every post I read says “don’t do it if you don’t have to.” It would be a tremendous gift. Not sure I am up to it. Still feel bad.
