(32,773 posts)34. He sounds like my malignant mother.
She made it to 95.
I did my best to make sure she had what she needed. So did my middle brother. She was hateful and abusive anyway. She should have been in a nursing home. Eventually, I got her powers of attorney, financial and medical. I got a guardian for her. She insisted on living at home, alone. She fell and broke her pelvis in four places. Then she landed in a nursing home. She was supposed to stay in bed unless she had assistance getting up. She didn't listen. She fell again and broke her hip. Then she died. Everyone who knew her said that her death did not happen soon enough.
