By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

In my opinion, if you want things to change, you're going to have to speak up. And as we all know, it's not going to be easy.
You're going to have to have a heart to heart with your mom and tell her that it's getting to be way too much. And somehow perhaps have others involved be at this meeting.
I wish you luck on this, lots of hugs xo.
Put your foot down hard now. Enough is enough now, mother. She may 'want' this that and the other thing from you, but you can no longer accommodate her wishes. I may 'want' to win the lottery too, b/c I have my eye on a very expensive condo, but guess what? It's not gonna happen so I just have to get over the fact I won't be living in that fancy condo.
Live your life and let mum live hers. She cannot tag along with you when you go out, sorry/not sorry, but you are 47 and deserve your OWN life! In short order, mother will decide she'd better take the daughter in law's up on their offers or sit alone at home. The next time she tells you off remind her that it's NOT okay for her to verbally abuse you, you will no longer stand for it. Then stick to your guns and walk away from her.
Your mother is not 'entitled' to a darn thing from you, just as I am not entitled to a darn thing from my children. Respect is a two-way street and if she'd like it from you, she'd better learn to give it TO you as well. If the living arrangements no longer suit her, there is plenty of managed care residences available that may be more to her liking.
And cataract surgery is easily correctable, by the way. Easy-peasy.
Wishing you the best of luck setting down boundaries and sticking to them.
Where are you all living, roughly?
Your mother needs more to do during the week. What are her interests? How's she been filling her spare time for the last thirty years?
She will not like these changes. But you don't like it the way it is. Sooooo start setting those lines in the sand and letting mom know what is and is not possible. She will either have to be alone a lot or take help from other family members or get some hired help. She can't make you do what you don't want to do.
That’s terrible that you lost your dad so early on. Of course it hit hard. But it’s been 29 years now. There’s always going to be times when you both miss him. It sounds like your mother latched on to you as the source of support that your father was to her. She wants you to fill the void in her life, and she seems mad that you cannot do that for her. It’s just not possible; you’re her daughter, not a life partner. Maybe she is clinging to you since she lost her husband abruptly, and can’t let you go either.
