I recently moved out of my mother's house. She depended on me wrongly financially and complains frequently about how hard things are for her since I moved out. My mom is able bodied and mind, but emotional and gets angry easily. Anyway my brother has said he thinks she too has mental health problems but has lived with it so long he thinks she's fine. I see her often and spend nights infrequently. Your case is very different. You need to get a social worker involved in her care. They can get the proper set up for her, housing, independent living, etc. You will still need to check in on her as a daughter, but you by no means need to give up your life to be her caretaker. That's not anything you need to do. Call the county, get her involved with them. Move out. Get your own life going, it's time for you now.
