Ok that sounds good. There still might be some help in how to train her in those basic skills... I just can't think right now WHO knows that stuff... (brain/head injury myself...)

yeah the long walks are kewl. You gotta keep some things private.(You might even take wine, cheese and a blanket?)

THe guilt trips might become worse but don't let them. If she really does act some like a child, that may be the only way she knows to get what she thinks she wants, and you might have to teach her a better (adult)way of that too.

It might be to plan for her to move out when she reaches 65. Unfortunately your child will also be old enough to leave... and you willhave missed some rich years... maybe...

I am the youngest of 6 siblings yet no one else lives nearby so, even though I cannot take care of myself very well (well, good enough) they "let " me keep watch over my 84 yr old mother. She lives by herself (because it would be impossible for her to live with anyone!)

There is also a caregiver's forum on this board... I'm sure there will be better answers for you there too...
