You have a very difficult situation to deal with as she probably will not change her lifestyle at this point in her life. Validate her feelings and then try to move the conversation on to something else. Would she consent to counseling?If so, find health care professionals who are qualified to counsel seniors. For your own mental health you may need to set limits on the calls and visits. Taking care of yourself is important if you want to be able to continue caring about both of your parents.
