I would gladly take my mother back into my home, but I don't think it's feasible for her to continue to live there. If we can manage to get her down those same steep stairs and into the house again, she'll be trapped there indefinitely, unable to go to the doctor, grocery or anywhere else except to the hospital if she falls and injures herself again. And she'll need someone with her 24 hours a day.

I don't understand what you mean by "trapped."

The fact that the writer expects someone else to pay for, and care for, his/her ailing mother tells you what that means...Having worked in the healthdare field, I am familiar with these types of children. It’s part of the communist plan to make everyone part of the welfare states. Separate parents from their children by indoctrinating people to believe children are a burden, then when they grow up, reinforce to children that their parent’s aren’t worthy of their time or money. There’s nothing new about this, once upon a time it was referred to as Corban.

Getting her down is one thing. Getting her back up is quite another.

How do you get someone with fragile bones who can not climb up a steep flight of steps? They have to be carried.

One major problem is the place when she is living. I would suggest she think about moving. Not only because of her mother but because if she would ever fall she would have the same problem.

One major problem with housing is that it is not designed for the handicapped. We have lots of stairs, split levels, narrow hallways, crowded bathrooms, there are a whole slew of issues.

It is actually smart to start looking at houses with that in mind once the kids are gone
