Should I
I was going through
my mother’s things
trying to find something
that she will recognize.
She has good days and
she has bad days.
I had to hire a nurse
to help me take care
of her because when
she has a bad day
she can be a hand
full.
I felt bad about
going back to
work, but I am
behind on my
bills.
My boss said
that I can work
from home, so
I will do that
starting next
month.
Some of my
friends are telling
me to put my mom
in a home.
I’m not going to
lie sometimes
I do think about it
especially when,
she gets violent with
me and the nurse.
I want to take care
of my mother until I
can’t, but the question
should I put her in
a home is always in the
back of my mind.
