Mom has very severe mental health isdues, she can be very difficult to deal with, and even delusional, she puts stress on us, that others cant go out as much as we would like at times, doesnt accept bou daries, thinks people owe her, she refuses respite care, manipulates things to get her way, lies her way out of things, gaslights at times, and nursing home she will fight it but something is needed for her

Heavenly Father, we bring PurpleKat’s mother before You. You know her struggles with severe mental health, her delusions, and the strain this places on her family. Lord, we ask You to bring peace, healing, and clarity to her mind and heart. Give PurpleKat and their family strength, patience, and wisdom as they navigate boundaries and care. Provide the right help and resources, even if she resists, and open doors for the support that is truly needed. Surround them all with Your love, truth, and protection. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I’m so glad you shared this. Caring for a mom who needs respite care or a nursing home is a heavy burden, both emotionally and practically. Please know that God sees your love, your sacrifices, and even the moments when you feel tired or unsure of what to do next.
I’m praying that the Lord will guide you to the right place for your mom—somewhere safe, kind, and dignified—and that He will surround you with wisdom, peace, and trustworthy support. You are not alone in this.
