Janet, it is very difficult - we want to take care of our parents, they took care of us, but it is very very different when you have your parents in your home. Also Janet, your home life was not good to start with and your husband was not supportive - which makes it even worse, I think. My husband was super supportive and he loves me and my mom so much - but even he was so tired of having her here all the time.
Even though my mom does not have any health problems, my daughter and I just HAD to reclaim our home and our lives. I know mom would much rather be with us, but we both have so many other irons in the fire. I'm so glad that she is in her own space, she has constant care, if she needs it, and she is safe. It is so much better for all of us. She is doing well, making some friends and participating in some of the activities. It is good for her.
I know that sounds heartless - but it is not. Life is very complicated these days, and even in the best of circumstances, it is difficult.
