Hi, Dr. Laura. Thank you for taking my call. I really value your wisdom and I'm hoping you can help me in the situation.

I am 46. My husband's 51 and my mother's 81. We recently moved out of our home to move into my mother's home to be caregivers.

That was okay. Since we've moved into the home, my mother, I didn't realize, doesn't have hobbies.

She wants to go everywhere my husband and I go. She thinks it's going to be the three musketeers.

So I ended up getting a caregiver because I couldn't take it. I felt like my work

have come and she just told me she didn't like one of the caregivers today because she felt

Yesterday, the caregiver a couple days ago, she didn't want to walk the dog with her

because she didn't like her hair.

She did wear a bonnet, and I did let them know for her not to come that way.

I was like, I would like us we still have the other house I was like I want to

move back I don't want to sell the house anymore because I can't between now and dead I don't

want to live like this what can I do and he says we can't move back mom doesn't have
