(From Feb 8th)

I temporarily left my home and my Partner in San Diego to come live with my Mother.  My Dad passed away three years ago and although we have home care for her, my sister and brother and I thought the situation needed a closer look. Her dementia has  progressed and her personal safety is always a balance with  giving her the independence she has demanded.

I told my Mother this was not a permanent move but I would be living with her for the time being. When she asked why, I said that I knew she was lonely so I thought I would come hang out with her for awhile. Mom let me know she was happy to have me move in but when she gets a new husband I will need to move out…. I promised I would!
