My mother needs me.

She needs the kind of help I give my clients so I'm going to have to let one of them go so I can take care of my own mom.
She can walk but very very slowly. She has kidney disease, heart disease, amoung other issues. She still has her sight, her hearing & her mind but she's frail af.
I refuse to let her have to pay for someone to come into her home to help her. That's MY job.
I'm her only child so I've got alot of pressure on me right now but I have to do the right thing.
I honestly can't afford to let one of my people go but my mom needs me too.
I'm at a crossroads right now so please keep us in your prayers.

I have two answers:

1. I’ve been where you’re standing and I know how it feels. Praying for you both.

2. There is a chance you can get paid by the government to help you retain your financial health.

Somebody who works with you in patient care may be able to help you, or at least give you direction.

Family is more important than customers or patients and you are right to prioritize your own blood over someone else.

Your mom has been for you when you were a kid, when you needed her guidance, when you needed her to console you. Now, the tables are turned and she needs you just as much as you needed her.

A family is a gift and I am proud that you take that decision to follow your heart.

I believe that there is away to get paid from the state to help your mother. Especially with you already being qualified.

@Tumbleweed i would take the keys or disable the car too. Sounds mean but if she gets the idea she may forget and get into go somewhere.

@NightsWatch No, she's completely in her right mind. She won't drive. But if it comes to taking the keys, I will

@Tumbleweed

your doing it because you love her
so taking money from the government for this isnt wrong
the government takes enough from us anyway
