Thanks for your response. My mother is only 56 so she goes to work everyday, so a visiting nurse or adult daycare is out of the question. As far as I can remember my mother has been depressed, but more so now then ever. Trying to get her to get treatmnet has not been sucessful.. When her friends have brouth her odor to my attention, because they were afraid she was going to be fired, I confronted my mother and received to denial as a response and her friends were turn angry that I used their names. If I cannot use a 3rd party or her doctor it is pretty much up to me. Finding the words is the difficult part, I have told her that if she doesn't tak care of herself she wont see my sone grow up and she promises to get better. I do not think she is a collector, by maybe has a little bit of mania, she goes out and buys things that she doesnt need and never brings in from the car. I appreciate everyones advice, I just feel like I hvea to choose between my mother and my husband.
