You are not obligated to care for anyone, including your mother if she is not obligated to follow a moral life I would argue with this because I do think we have to provide basic care for our parents...even if they're being stupid. But you do not have to enable their bad behavior nor be chummy with them if they have all their faculties and are behaving poorly.
But to say too much would validate TheOtherOne's lack of a sense of humor toward Alberta's Child's statement.

I am a computer geek, thank you very much. I'm also a Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve (Chief Journalist). I liked the message, but words still mean things, and a soldier is a member of the Army, a sailor is a member of the Navy, a Marine is a Marine and an airman is a member of the Air Force (except for the airmen who are Navy guys, and they are still sailors).

LOL. I am often prone to using hyperbolic exaggeration here on FR, so I can understand why people would take things the wrong way.
Maybe I would let her die alone in the basement instead of in a nursing home. LOL!

I am a computer geek, thank you very much. I know. That's why I said it. I'm married to one. He's wonderful, if a bit exasperating with details sometimes. So it was said with much affection for computer geeks, and with a full knowledge of their idiosyncracies. ;-)

Well, I guess in this letter those details aren't all that crucial. If you're writing code, hurray for details. But sometimes picking nits detracts from communication.
Believe me, I love to pick them. Did it to my teachers all through school.
