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.

Mom comes first. You take care of her. We`re all thinking of you both. ❤

@Degbeme I think she may have Parkinson's as well. I've already had to tell her no more driving...

@Tumbleweed That`s for the best.

@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
