Roger your mom seems so difficult, I'm so sorry, she sounds like my mom x 100. I hope you've been able to figure out , how to get breaks at least and ways make things better.

I think you need to put boundaries up, in a loving way. Tell her you love her but you won't help if she continues to do things that are dangerous to her health and yours for that matter. It's never easy, and she will pout and try to make things harder but you have to have thick skin when she is mean .

My brother has power of attorney, but I do most of the caregiving because I'm not working. If my mom falls or anything she has a fit because she knows I will tell my brother. She actually has been really rude to me the last month because of this. I just ignore her. The only time she has been nice to me is if I take her out. But that's ok, I honestly don't care anymore, she can pout be snotty, rude all she wants. I know what I'm doing is right and she needs to get over it or OH WELL.

Going outside well your sleeping is dangerous for her I'm sure, going through the garage is even more dangerous, unsanitary and unhealthy, for her and you. Living around garbage is unhealthy too.

Good luck roger

Place anything that you don’t want her to have in a trash can outside. If it’s not inside of the house it won’t be as accessible to her.
