Dear PALE&IF,

Thank You for your advice and offer of help. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm going to try to get my mother to agree to a doctor's appointment with me, to see her GP, about getting a referral to a specialist.
And I'll take it from there.

I want her assessed fully, and I also want her eyes tested regarding her driving. I would prefer she gave up driving - because I think
she's a danger to herself and others. But I need her GP's help with all of this.

Anyway, Thanks Again.

Dont kill her or yourself with kindness.
If she cant drive anymore deep down she will know it.
I will tell you what kills them even quicker. The fear of loosing their independance. And guess what. They normally take it out on the one who is the closest. The one in the family who cares the most.
The one who despite their own problems and health issues is always there. Just be careful you dont desrtoy what is clearly a deep loving bond between the two of you.
'Even if its generally unspoken'

Ask the specialist to put her own a home caps plan
That way she will form a bond with one or two of the ladies who drop by with her meals- or just to have a nice cup of tea and chat with.
then she will feel shes still inderpendant and keep her dignity.
I hope your also looking after yourself as well
Did you read the poems I posted for you?
