You know I used to think that I would ahve to take care of my mom forever, but now there are people saying I am not doing any good for her by staying with her. I guess I agree since I know a 50 year old woman living with MS doesn't need anything else dragging her down. I jsut can't picture my life without her being here with me you know? She has always been there for me and now I am being forced to abandon her into an assisted living center. Why is it that she can always be there for me, but I can't return that favor by taking care of her? Does that make me a bad son? Am I more trouble than I am wrorth? I mean I am a 22 year old unemployed bum, but I just don't really feel safe leaving her home alone, where she might fall and hurt herself. I want to be there for her, but I just can't do it anymore. I have to grow up and be my own man, and live on my own without her, and trust that she will be safe.
