Raven~
I am so sorry that the infamous "daughter guilt" has made its way into your world. I'm going to say a prayer that your mother recovers without needing family care. Could you arrange for home-healthcare people to come tend to her needs until she recovers fully? How is she financially?
Don't feel alone. Brandy recently posted a thread that sounds so much like yours (elderly mom is ill, lives far away, bad relationship, and not the type of person to make you WANT to travel to care for). Here's the thread:
Elder Care...I need to vent.
Read it. There was good advice and you could always PM Brandy if you needed a shoulder to lean on as she has been/is in your shoes.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers,
Kim
