not if your marriage wants to survive, besides why do this to your children? do not give into peer pressure, and what the society says if you do not take her in- she had her lifem and that is why there is clinics for ill people.
care for her, but do not do this to yourself and your family.
i will never ever impose on my childs life- it is unfair .

We are having the same dilemma about my step dad right now. I feel for you and what you are going through. You have to think about her safety and the safety of your children. The answer may be that she needs to live in an assisted living home. If that's the case, don't feel discouraged that you didn't do everything possible for her. Sometimes it is the kindest thing you can do to admit that someone else may be better equipped to care for an Alzheimer's patient than you would be in a traditional home. Bless you.

You may want to check into a nursing home for her. There are nursing homes that specialize in Alzheimer's patients. Taking care of 5 kids and a mother with Alzheimers will be extremly difficult for you

I think taking her in your home will be very stressful for you and your family and I don't think your mom would want that. There are great homes that provide care for alzheimers patients and I think that would be best for her. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against caring for a sick or elderly parent but this is a totally different circumstance and you don't want it coming between you and your family. Not to mention this is a very difficult illness to deal with and eventually she will end up there anyhow.

Hell yes she is the only mother you have besides she took care of you when you wasn't able to. I think it is our responsibility to take care of our parents when they are no longer able to take care of them selves. Iknow that with having children of your own it will be a bigger responsibility but I bet she didn't say that when you wasn't able to take care of your self, think about that one for a while and i am sure that you will come up with the same thoughts that i do.

There'd be nothing wrong with that. Your family could help out. After all, she took care of you when you were little. Don't abandon her now. She won't be that much of a problem.
