Need to vent

I just need to rage for a minute. I've been the primary care giver for my 80 year old sil who has bi-polar and dementia. The family checked her into a nursing home last fall, where the care she received enabled her to pull herself together enough to demand and be allowed to go home. I told her I thought it was a bad plan but I would help her if I could.

Long story short, over the last 6 months she has rejected every type of help I have been able to get for her....meals on wheels, contact ministries, medic alert....... She went off on a rage at me when I told her not to call me any more that day unless she wanted me to take her to the hospital or Dr. I was sitting beside my son's bed in ICU when I made this request.

Once the crisis with my son passed I sent her a letter saying that she would need to find someone else to take care of getting her medications for her. So what does she do? She contacts the nursing home to see about checking back in. The witch would rather go back there than make nice and apologise to me. ::sigh:: It's time. It's for the best.
