Yogi, I know exactly how you feel. My mother lives with me, and I can't tell you how difficult it's getting. She was driving until earlier this year, then crashed into three parked cars, but luckily didn't hurt anyone. Taking her car away put her in a deep depression and furthered her dementia, but we had no choice. My brother tries to help, but he lives an hour away. My other brother is useless and hasn't seen her since April. The bulk of her care falls on me, even though I've had my own health issues to deal with.

They become quite self-centered, like three year olds. I wish you the best of luck. My husband just tells me to remember that today is worse than yesterday but better than tomorrow.
