Sadiesue23,
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this! We brought my dad into our home in November. It has totally changed our lives too. Our cat died in December. We think it could have been kidney issues, but we are unsure. Recently, my dad stepped on our German Shepherd mix that is 14 years old. It's not hard to see her. She already has arthritis. My dad scared her a lot by slapping his leg. Not sure why that is. My husband and I are having issues too. Our marriage wasn't the best when we decided to bring him here. I kept asking God for help with everything. My dad is up already. He has been up since probably about 2:30 this morning. The sleep supplements and medicine don't seem to work at all! I too feel like I am doing everything! Info all the clean you, showers, washing, most of the cleaning. It's a lot! I'm not sure what the answer is. My husband is also hard to talk to. Guess it depends on if you love him enough to stay with it. Do you have another place to stay? I currently don't have a really good paying job so I'm here for now. I don't want to lose our dog either. Hopefully on Sept 30th, my dad can move into a memory care home if everything goes smoothly!

I wish you all the best for you and your family! This is so difficult for everyone!

🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏

Love these answers. Be firm. Stand up for yourself and entire family. Even when husband objects (which he probably will), you say (as long as it is true) either his mother goes or you go AND it is very easy to "fix" but mom has to no longer live with you. We can love people and no be able to live with them and their behaviors. Get mom out even if to AL and repair your marriage. You may find your husband thanks you for it.
AND regardless - set up son and mom time and son and father time - no excuses, DO IT!

She may have just needed to vent. Or maybe she was overwhelmed with all of the suggestions. Or maybe she didn't like what she was reading. So many possibilities. I do hope she listens to some of the great advice on here so she can rescue her family.

Often, people come here once, to vent their frustrations and we never hear from them again.

Think about the irreversible damage she caused your family and move her back to her home. No guilt or obligation is worth the damage to your son.
