NAH1203... I feel for you and am so sorry that you find yourself in this agonizing position. I think you will find many of us who can relate... sadly so. I have been there with my brother and others. For me, the hospital (where my brother was admitted) had some resources to offer, but only to folks who WANTED the help... it is entirely up to your Mom to make the choice to help herself... she has to be the one to do it and you cannot help her make that decision. I hope (for you) that she can find the strength to take that step... sending you hugs!
