My mom has dementia and bi-polar. Her behaviioral health team has told me I have to get my mom in assisted living and apply for gaurdianship. If I dont then they will have the state intervene for custody. She is very resitant and hostile. I am feeling very overwhelmed an stressed about talking to her about these things. Any suggesitons on how to talk to her would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly, the burden now is on you. Probably it's best to use your inner and outer resources to stay strong and get the job done without troubling your mother unless she has to participate in some way. And then keep it light, simple and non-threatening.
Good luck and God bless.
We took mom to the attorney with us and he asked her questions about if she wanted us to take care of her and pay her bills for her. As long as the attorney is convinced that she understands that you are going to take care of her and do what's best for her, you should be able to do this and save a lot of money and headache.
