It is really tough. I am going through similar and so much guilt involved. So hard to change the relationship to being a care giver, so much sadness too. Good luck on your journey with this.

This is so difficult. I’ve been there with my mother and it is not an easy time of life. My mother and I did become close, and we had a nice relationship. We are (in our 70’s) doing everything I can to age in place. We widened doors, removed carpet and tubs, added lighting, and have a 4’ x 6’ curbless shower with grab bars. Hopefully we can stay here.

You will make a good decision for your parents. Ditto what Stacy said about self care and good vibes.

I am with you. I've been a caregiver for my mom since 2012. The level of emotional dissonance can be paralyzing. Sending lots of love and reminding you to take care you.
