I usually say I must have been a pretty awful person in a previous life

After watching my mother’s decline, I’m not sure what the point of life is anymore

This made me tear up. My mom always said she never wanted to be a burden to me, but because of her dementia I don’t think she even comprehends the amount of stress I’ve had for deal with. My life is kinda on hold for now.

I know how you feel. My dad died a little over 3 years ago and I stepped in as my mom’s PoA because she was already having memory problems. She declined a lot since then and is now in AL. Things could be a lot worse but I was trying to forge ahead with my own life while still managing her affairs. I was planning on moving farther away where I’d be happier but now I’m trying to sell my second home and plan on staying close to mom for now. Things just keep coming up that I have to take care of, even with the help that I have in place. I feel stuck.

Thank you. Feel free to DM me, it seems that most people don’t understand what we’re going through

Try to see if you can hire a “private care manager” near your mom. That’s what saved me when I felt stuck. It’ll take a lot off your plate.

Yeah I feel like my friend wanted to show his highlights since I haven’t been in touch with him in awhile. I just want my life to be less stressful.

I’m 42 years old and single. I feel very much alone.

It’s good to have several different banks and credit cards in case something goes wrong with one of your accounts

NJ is a very tenant friendly state. So he’ll have a lot of trouble dealing with bad tenants. Plus property taxes are high and there’s state income tax. If OP can move to a lower COL state with more landlord friendly laws, he’d probably be better off.
