This is the only place I can say the unravel and people get it immediately. My mom is 83 and in the last 6 months turned our lives upside down. She does not live with me but I am only option for her. She is blind in one eye, and has limited vision in the other. Still drives. As long as there’s enough attention and running - things are ok but it’s exhausting and my own health is suffering. I am POA and she’s very distrusting and angry most days. How do I help her without losing my own sanity?

Talk to her eye dr. They normally have to sign paperwork for the DMV to say that they can drive. You can write a letter to the DMV and state that she is unsafe and hey were send her a letter making her retake the test. Then it’s out of your hands. If the eye doctor won’t say she’s safe to drive, and/or she doesn’t pass the drivers test or vision test for a license, it becomes a legal issue, not a personal one.
