Even as I type this, I am beginning to feel anxiety. > MMMmmm, this is something I need to explore. ************Just realize that care taking does not necessarily mean being there in contact yourself. I have often heard Dr. say that it IS your responsibility to see that your parent has a roof over their heads, is well fed, and has good medical attention. It is NOT your responsibility to destroy yourself by being in contact with a parent who is toxic. There is quite a bit from a distance you can see to. If your mother is well off financially there are many services which can be bought to care for an individual. You do need to get an idea of what you are and are not willing to do and then let go of the anxiety if you can. Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
