More to the reason why I hate old people! They tend to not care about others, just themselves! I have to work around old people day in and day out. They can be so ignorant! Some are really sweet but most just don't care. Its sad that you have to go threw this :/ Did she sign any kind of contract to stay with you guys?

WOW! This is pretty wrong! I volunteer at the nursing home, and let me tell you, I work with some of the sweetest little ladies ever. I have many times fallen in their laps sobbing at the unfortunate way that their life is ending. I think MANY of them are hardened by the disrespectful way that they have been treated AS they were growing old. I too will grow old one day and I certainly hope that people don't hate me because of my age. WOW!

Eeeeww.. Look for a roommate to take her place! Look at the bright side, You can find someone younger who you don't have to clean up their.. eeww grossness! I somehow found a great Roommate on CL about a month ago, was terrified I would not be able to pay my mortgage, or at least the way I would have had to of lived to pay it would have sucked.. meaning not 1 extra penny... But I found someone! And I am ok now :) and So will you

I agree. People will pay extra to keep their animals, too.

I know it's hard, but try to direct every bit of positive energy you can to this, and that will help it work out. Keep saying "This will work, we will get the mortgage, everything will be fine". I'm not trying to blow smoke up your butt, I just truly believe this works, and it sounds like you could use a break from the stuff going on!!!!

Agreed. Love & light from me as well. <3

I need to vent.

I should know bad things happen in threes in my life.  Last week it was the sick chicks - that I am still battling.  So far only one more death and quite a few are showing improvement.  Most of you do not know, but Sarah does... I have an elderly lady living with me and has been for almost 2yrs.  She's 81 and going through a nasty divorce with a 20yr younger idiot.  She's been done wrong, but seriously, I can see why he got fed up with her.  Last year around Feb/Mar she fell and had compression fractures in her spine that also caused her to have a colostomy bag for the rest of her life.  She doesn't want to take care of it or herself, to just cut to the case.  For months I had to explain to her why it was so important to wash her hands after dumping her bag.  And I had to point why it was bad to dump the bag in any container in her room and let it sit for days.  I had to explain why it was bad to lay in her bed for hours after her colostomy bag and/or diaper leaked overnight.  It's been trying.  BTW, I am no relation to this woman in any way shape or form.  My mom cleaned for her for 15yrs and with the divorce, she had to leave and none of her family wants anything to do with her.  She held up the divorce by at least 3months last year while she was in the hospital/nursing home after her fall.  She could have been out in June, but she refused to show any independence and wouldn't care for her colostomy bag on her own for the last 3 months.

Yesterday she gets a large letter in the mail from her friend that I have noticed she's been sneaking calls to when no one is around (and left a suspicious message on the machine) and I opened the letter.  I flipped out.  Here she's been having her friend call every agency she could and every elderly apartment place she could looking for a new place!  My mom is POA and executor of the estate and we do EVERYTHING for her.  We've already told her there is no way she can live on her own, but if she wanted to go to a nursing home, that was up to her.  We've been telling her this since she came back from the fall in September.  This BS, the sneaking and she wasn't telling her friend everything (she doesn't even know she has a colostomy bag).  We have done everything we can to accommodate this woman and for her to do this?!  What really irritates me is we are stuck in this house because we needed a 4 bedroom ASAP when she moved in with us.  She knows we can't afford this place without her.  I have been asking for months what she wants, and then to have it dropped on me like this when I literally have a month and a half to figure out what we are going to do because without her, we can not stay here.

Some days I wonder what the heck I have ever done to deserve the life I have.  The BS is never ending.

So.  I am waiting to hear what's happening with the mortgage we applied for so we can buy this place first.  I should know by the end of this week.  If we do not get pre-approved I will have to sell all my birds, the goat and rehome the cats.  I'm absolutely appalled at the way we are being treated after going out of our way for her.  I am upset that I finally have a decent flock of birds I want and now...

I'm really sorry to hear this. I sent you a message a few days ago, but it did that thing where it returned it to me. Checking up on your chick problrms. I'm sorry to hear of more crap going on. What a sh*tty way to repay you. I don't think she has any idea what it would be like to do it on her own. I'm sure nothing I can say could help, and I'm sure you've been thinking it out for a long time. Consider a better renter, but I'm sure the loan Will settle. This is just protection, really....you're being purged of her for your own good. It's just the malice and implications that you need to overcome right now, and you will.
