Struggling to manage mother’s care. No one seems to understand that she falls in between the medical and legal jargon of “capacity”. Dr says she can make her own medical decisions (even if they are poor), law says I am POA, so I’m to make financial and medical decisions for her when she can’t. And she can’t. But, aging care lawyer also says proving “lack of capacity” is difficult. She’s a feisty fighter at 101 and thinks I’m stealing money from her, threatens to remove me from all her accts, and her will. Calls and yells at me then hangs up. I am her only child. She lives in her home 2 hours away with a daily sitter. In Feb, she went AWOL from assisted living center against medical advice. APS was called. I’m ready to move closer to my own kids (14 hours away now), and feeling trapped, weary and burdened and so confused. TIA for your advice with experience here.
