My MIL lives with me and my husband. She has LBD. She is too hard to take care of. I was told if the chore of taking care of the family member proves to be too much, have her move on. I do not want help physically. I need help mentally. I need her to leave. I had a physical done my BMI has gone down 10%. My whole body has gone down 19%. She needs a change of scenery. The scenery to be consistent not inconsistent. The scenery should be what she is familiar with. Where she is from offers free ins. One of the only treatments that work is Body Massage. I believe if she has Dementia, what is wrong with her getting body massage? I resent her and my other sil’s and bil’s they do nothing for her. Well, the baseball game is about to start, I need the other family members to step up to the plate and practice God Working With Us. If we want to, it is satisfying. When you have to, it's the devil working within us. I hate the way I feel. May I make a suggestion to have a game plan before they move in. If you don’t, you Will Carry The Burden.

you are suffering from burn out. It happens to most of us, if not all. Tell your SIL/BIl It’s time for them to step up.
Good luck.
