My mom i love her so much.she was such. A great mom and did so much for me and our family. So i am the baby and i am the caregiver. She is 81 and lives. With me. The other nite i took her to the store she said on the way home she thought she was going to throw up. Got her home in bed put trash can by her bed. Then she was freezing. So i put two blankets. Over her.and put. Heating pad on her to. Help warm her up she fell aslep .wke up feeling ok. So the next morning i got up and i thought it was chilly so knew she must be cold. Still. Asleep. So turned on heat. When she wakes up she comes in kitchen and said iver 5 times im hot. I daid under my breath if you. Say that one more time im going to scream. Ii have plans to go see my thearpist. On tuesday,my day off. And had plans to see a movie with a friend. She just asked me if i had plans on tues. I said yes and asked why. She wantsto go to the store. I will not let her drve.i just dont think she should drive. So i told her i would take her after ido my things. I have older brother ans sister. My sis lives far away about 3 hrs andworks. Full time and my brother lives close but works nights. I need emotional as well as other help from them. I will send them a txt about an episoide. And they. Dont answer. Back. Im to the point. Where im going to write them both a ketter. I suffer from aniexty. And depression. Im doing really good, but i can get overwhelmed. And have a panic attack. Im doing my best.but its hard. My mom will not go to a daycare type olace. She isn't that bad. I cant get her to join a book club but yet she complains about being stuck in house. I just need to find a balance any suggestions. Eould be appreciated
and lori,
if your mother never had much of a social life and no interests or hobbies, it sure isnt your fault because she still doesnt. my mom wasnt interested in daycare type socializing either. that shouldnt make me the entertainment commitee..
