I'm her only caregiver and she doesn't even have $100 in savings. When she doesn't recognize me, she sees me as her potential murderer.

There is one advantage to having mom in her own home. I have a source of food, a place to sleep, tv to watch and internet to live on. If she went to a home, I'd get the house but her income, which she and I live on, would go to the senior home. I'd have to scramble just to find work on time to make the monthly bills and food.
In the three years I cared for her, Ive run through my savings and checking accounts so I'd be starting my new live with zero cash. Course, I'll face the same economic dilemna when mom dies too.
I plan to keep her alive and home as long as possible...at least till my nerves hold out.
