My dad and mom 83 and 80

My dad has AD and my mom takes care of him.  I live about an hour away.  I tried to get her to move next door to me and she refused.  Now the house is sold.  She is constantly calling me and I feel like I have to run every time she calls.  I feel guilty if I don't.  I want to be there for  her but it would be... Read moreChevron
