Should I move out of Mom's?

Question

Mom is 77 years old. I am 47. I have moved in with her a year ago, and now I want to move out. She is elderly with health issues, and I feel guilty if I leave. She's not helpless, but needs assistance with house cleaning, stuff like that. She still does everything for herself, except some times she'll ask me to reach something for her, or pick up the mail, stuff like that.

I'm just afraid that if I move out, she will fall or have a stroke, or something bad.

Answer 2

Don't be afraid. If you wish to move out, then do it. Just make sure you put your mother in a nursing home, where she can get all the help she need.

Or if you want, your mother would love to be in a senior homes. There are alot of things to do for people her age. Plus your mother can meet up with new people and new friends.

if u were in her place, would she have moved out..?

No. isn't it?

Answer 4

Maybe U can move out but live near her just in case. Also, U can get one of those health necklaces for her with the button on it. The one for when like an old lady falls or something or needs help, she pushes the button and people come to help...fast.

Answer 5

yes you should move out but you can always go back and visit her and see how shes doing or if you don't want to do that she can go to

the nursing home if you think she needs to because 77 is pretty old

Answer 6

If you feel that it is time for you to move out then you should. Before you do you could help her go through the house and put things that she uses on a daily bases in places where she can easily reach them, move things around in a way that it will be easy for her to move about in the house without having obstacles in her way, and maybe remove a mailbox that is too far away for her to easily get to and replace it with one of those small box type ones that goes on the wall just outside the door. Also reassure her that you will be over regularly to check on her and help her with house cleaning. Do not feel guilty about leaving and do not feel like you have to be going over her house every second to check on her she will be fine! If all else fails then maybe you should discuss getting her into an assisted living facility somewhere nearby, but don't let her feel as though you are trying to get rid of her exhuast all other options first. Lastly, her health is not going to fail just because you move out you just feel obligated to show her the same level of care she has given you throughout your life and your mind is making excuses to try and keep you there with her, but you are an adult and need your own life!
