Hello: Im here visiting my mom in NJ from calif and i just want to go home.

My mom lives alone in a senior building and now she is getting nasty with me. Its terrible.

Im only staying another 10 days if i can last that long and i was going to stay the summer but i want to get out of here. I can't handle this alone.

Im an only child and she is 83. its too much and i need to remove myself from this but i feel guilty about it.

I have meals on wheels coming in, a nurse once a week and an aid to help her bath, but i think she needs more help then that and now im feeling depressed and under appreciated. god help me. I need some sleep.
