I am so confused and Alone

I am being forced to sell my Mother's home. She has dementia. She was taken out of state when I had an MS flare. I was suicidal, nearly.
I feel so alone, I feel no one cares. I hurt when she begs me to let her come home.
I have no idea what to day or do. Please, any answers welcome.

Be patient and try to make sure her new home is as "homey" as possbile. As heartbreaking as this is, it is the best option as living alone with dementia is a recipe for disaster. I am so sorry you have to go through this, but remember that just as she once had to make decisions that you hated and rebelled against, but were really in your best interest, so must you now do the same for her.

Hugs-

I was never a rebellious kid. I had a job before I graduated High School, and put myself through nursing school. I realize I have to make changes, as I have spent the last 3 plus years caring for my Mom.
I just wanted someone to listen, and perhaps to vent a little.

Thanks
