So it has been about 6 years since I have been here. Things have changed of course in those 6 years. Our daughter graduated school this last year, our youngest son has moved back in and I'm 6 years older. lol Still gardening and canning, doing what I can on the home front to make it easier on hubby and spending on food.
I am now taking care of 2 homes, ours and my moms. She isn't doing to good. Wish she lived closer and we had another vehicle so that I could get over there more. I get over there about once a week, I pay the bills, visit, clean and then make sure has food for the week. She totaled her car (after riding with her 1 time, I don't think she needs to be driving) and all she talks about is getting another one. I know this will sound bad but would love to have her license revoked. Her driving is bad now and scary and Im afraid for her and truthfully others.
Im doing better health wise, well was but yesterday pulled a muscle or did something to my upper thigh in the back. Hurts to sit to long and hurts to stand. Getting older isnt for the weak, that is for sure. Going to go read and see if anyone I used to read is still here. Hope all has a good night.

Life goes on, but if you're that concerned about realitive driving, you can talk to her doctors and talk about having her driving privliages revoked.

We have and they say we have to take her in to take a cognitive test and she is refusing. Have to wait to see what happens, meanwhile since we have to go through the paperwork from insurance on the vehicle it gives a bit of time to try and see what our other options are.

@Ithink If she's refusing, you can look into getting a cort order (which she can't refute) if you can prove her driving is reckless. If there was a wreck, there should be a police report, which could help in your case.

Years ago, my Mom had to take my Grandmother's car keys and license away from her, which hurt her feelings but was best for her.

Welcome back!
My older brothers took the keys to mom's car and refused to give them back. Even with power steering, she couldn't turn the wheel hard enough to make tight turns and was scary driving on the roads. She was mad and threatened to take them to court over it. My brother told her if she wanted the judge to order her to stop driving, to take him to court. She knew he was right and stopped fighting with him about driving.

You are right. Oldage brings in lot of ailments if you are weak. We should take care of our health to avoid these pains.

It doesn’t sound bad that you want your mom’s license revoked. My mom was 46 when she happened to be diagnosed with dementia, and we had to take away her license and keys before her official diagnosis. We just knew she and others were at risk. But telling your own mother that is not easy.
Hopefully, you can check back in with Mylot more often. We would love to see you come back.
