I'm dealing with a similar situation with my mom. I have to keep her checkbook with me at all times, and the file cabinet where all her important papers are, has to stay locked at all times so she can't get her bank information to give it to any scammer that calls her on the phone. I've had to explain to her that her regular vacuum cleaner isn't a shop-vac after I cleaned out the mold from some wet mess she had vacuumed up with it. I have to go through her pills every week to make sure she's taking the right ones and she's not missing doses. She has voluntarily stopped driving, but that means I also have to do all her shopping for her. It all started when I had to get authorized to pay her bills because she was "putting them in a safe place" and then getting disconnect notices because she was forgetting to pay them.
I have made my mom cry a few times while dealing with her. She got upset when I explained that the psychics with offshore addresses wanting her to send them money were scammers. She got upset when I explained to her that The Amazing Kreskin has more money than she'll ever see, and that she didn't need to sent her money to him, either.
And some days, after I get home, it has me on the verge of tears as well. My brother lives 125 miles away, and he and Mom haven't been on good terms for 30 years...so he doesn't care. My sister lives 1200 miles away, and she can't take care of any of this stuff from that distance. If something happens to me, who's going to deal with Mom's day-to-day needs? That thought scares me to death.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
