Tips for when nada becomes house bound? ( I'm the one who cares for her)

[Guest guest]

Wow! I can't believe how much of what I've been reading applies to my

nada...love that term, BTW! The insanity I grew up in is starting to actually

make sense. That's kind of scary in itself.

But the severe mood shifts, the manipulation, the violence and general bizarre

beliefs, not to mention the ever popular histrionics over minor health

issues...these all seem to fit here. Of course, whenever challenged about mental

health problems, these were denied totally.

Any tips on getting through the day when you're nada's caregiver? So far she's

mobile, can still drive, too. But she's old, and someday will have real health

issues. I'm dreading the day she becomes house bound.

She refuses to be placed in a nursing home. Wants to die surrounded by her

things, her many, many things.
