Find Care & Housing
You are so welcome!
Hoping for you that everyone will soon be safe and your Mom will get the care she needs, wherever that may be. You have been a wonderful daughter to care for her and want her to have what she wants ( live at home) plus what she needs.
It is sad when their needs outweigh their wants at times. You will figure this out I am sure. Trust yourself.

Thank you Sendhelp. I just got off the phone with my brother and we discussed at length what needs to be done. Also told him that I have been and will be monitoring her behavior and that I have 3 last resorts before I place her in a facility. I told him what they were. I will not say what they are because of the criticisms from here that have cut me to the core. It was the very last comment that happened to be yours that resonated with me. I felt you truly knew what I am going through and for that I thank you with all my heart. You helped me. You gave me the courage to proceed and make the proper decisions and have them in place when needed. You did that by not criticizing me harshly but by being there and telling me what you went through. For that I cannot thank you enough!

Carema,
It was just coincidence that I had just last week experienced similar to your situation.
I would not have known to consider detaching with love had it not been several years on here reading the advice of caring people like Barb, Jeanne, Golden, MsMadge, FregFlyer, and Countrymouse to name a few. In fact, much of what I said was borrowed from them over the years.

They all are a fast study and may take a situation to it's logical conclusion before others are able to understand. In your personal situation, you are already aware of the dangers.

What I am trying to say so awkwardly, is that give everyone a chance to help, considering what will help you and your Mom, and leave the rest. It could have been me jumping to conclusions that won't work in your situation. I just felt that you can be trusted, as I also trust the others who have weighed in to help.
