Don't mind the avatar or name, this is my wife's account. I am writing because I am the youngest of four children, who have left to take care of my mom. She livesalone.
The other three siblings fell out with me and my mom, for differing reasons. I am married, work full time as well as study, so making time for my mom is not easy.
It's even harder when she refuses or is unable to do things to help herself. She is 66 (but does'nt look it) she is generally healthy although won't go out the house alone, relying on me to meet her, take her to teh shops and anywhere else.
She retired five years ago, but has'nt had a retirment plan, any ideas I put to her, she rejects, because she wants to be taken around be car, because she claims she has agorophobia but I don't think that's it.
It's hard when she won't listen. She goes through periods of not calling me at all, not answering the phone, locking her door and not letting me in to calling loads of times, usually at the most busy times. help
