My mom is in a nursing home

I try to visit her each weekend. Sometimes it's hard. Those places are so depressing and it's tough seeing her like this. There are days I walk out of there in tears

@GoldButterfly I'm not allowed. She needs 24 hour professional care
:( im sorry
@GoldButterfly Sometimes, like with my mother, there was no way to keep her safe. She wouldn't allow any other aides in her house and I could not be on guard 24/7.

Nursing home does not mean nobody cares and it does not mean nobody's heart is breaking daily.
@chuck7882 I am sorry you have to go through this.

I hate when people say this ... do you know how much of a commitment that is. Sorry that just makes me so angry we are already struggling with major guilt. @GoldButterfly
