Sometimes even Mom's have to deal with reality that their "wants" will not be met.
My mom & I could not get along under the same roof because I was too independent & couldn't be manipulated or guilted into doing what she wanted unless I believed it was the right thing to do.
If they want to be independent & live where they are living, then they need to be capable. Otherwise they have to fit into the family needs they become dependent on. That is just how life works when we get older.
I learned from what my mom did to me with wanting to stay in her house when she was dying & swore I would NEVER do that to my daughter. Mom's can easily be selfish with their wants even when not realistically possible.
You have to care for yourself & handle the situation with your own needs as a priority & let mom figure out how best to fit into the family's reality
