Hi, Fellman, that sounds a really awful situation for you and your mum. What country are you in, as that could make a difference to what people could suggest.

This sounds very difficult and a multi faceted problem for you. With so many things going on with you and your poor Mum. My thoughts are to try and keep it simple. Rather than taking on the whole medical establishment; first speak with her GP. The GP has responsibility and try to arrange a visit and get some plan of action. Get them to write it down for you as the stress may make you forget or mix up important points. If that fails, or you are not happy, speak with social services. It sounds, without knowing all the facts that they may need to intercede.

Good luck.
