as hard as it seems, stay away from her...you allow the verbal abuse, she sounds like a witch..don't call, but if she calls be polite. If you will be leaving some estate moneys, make sure she gets 1 dollar, do what you want with the rest...if possible try not to depend on her for anything. When I fractured my patella,my daughter took me to the surgeon, hospital without complaining...all my kids were concerned, when I fell and ended up with a compression fracture of the lumbar area,(different fall) I'd say she was an angel throughout it all. I was anxious to get to drive myself so I didn't have to depend on her. There was also a bad case of psoriasis that meant many trips to the dermatologist. not once did she complain and was surprised that I quickly healed and was able to drive myself....She is a gem, your daughter has made different choices, anyone that treated me poorly, even if one of my kids, I'd avoid them as much as possible...she is responsible for the choices she has made, not you...so don't feel guilty.

Goat granny, that’s wonderful you have such a kind and helpful daughter! I can’t imagine what people who have no family and need help like that do, or those who are made to feel a burden. My cousin is disabled but it took almost 3 years to get approved and start receiving benefits. She can’t drive. She’s reliant on my near-elderly parents to drive her to and from appointments and stuff for the most part. Luckily she lives near them and they are happy to do it.

I wish my mother could be there when I”M old and/or start having serious health issues :) She’s a gem and the one person I know I could count on.
