From my experience, usually the people virtue signaling about "honor thy father and mother no matter the circumstances", are also the ones that are suddenly busy and can't help right now.

I'm sorry this is so difficult for you. Maybe go take a nap.

100% she will (likely already has because women are whores) find a celebrity to boost her status.

If the mom lived an additional 13 years she couldn’t have been in that bad of shape at the beginning.
I've known people that live a long time as dependents
My aunt spent a decade with Alzheimer's.
A friends father spent 12 years with a colostomy bag and most of those years he had an infection that would open up and drain every few months. People thought the grim reaper had simply forgotten about him.
I think a big part of my OP story is that the mom lived fairly rural and once she couldn't drive, she was house bound.

You don’t?
I do. Just can be hard to bring up with a parent that may be starting to lose full cognitive abilities or has too much pride to realize they need to be taken care of.

I know. The same. Right thing to do usually. 100k a year isn't excessive for full time care.

shame he and his mom didn’t discuss and maybe she leave her house to him since he moved in to help her.
For sure. Difficult conversation to broach though. " Hey mom, since I'm doing all this shite for you, how about giving me something in return?
Really need a close family member or friend to bring it up with the parent.

parents gave me their best for my first 18 years of life.
However long it takes is how long I'd care for them
But raising kids ,while challenging, is usually filling with joy and rewards. Watching a parent slowly die is totally different. Especially if said parent has lost mental capacity.
Sorry about your daughter. I don't have words for grieving parents.

I'll give an IRL example of a friend of a friend.
Unmarried but girlfriend. No kids. He was 43 and his mother about 80 and starting to have significant health problems. None of the other siblings volunteered to help her. Quits job and moves back home to give full time care thinking this will probably a 5 year mission at most. 5 turns into 10 and 10 turns into 13 when his mother passes away at 93. He is now 56 and has been out of workforce for 13 years. He is now starting to have a few health problems if his own. No real wealth to pass on just middle class ppl. He is still living in mothers home but that is even getting grief from the unhelpful siblings.
While its a noble thing to do, it also seems just too much of a sacrifice. Pats on the back will only get you so far. He effectively traded some of his best remaining years (and fkd himself financially) so his mother would not have to be in a nursing home. I'm sure after 5 years having to make the decision to send her to a home would be very difficult especially since she was still mentally ok.
How much would you do for your parent before it's "too much"?

No.
We had no business over there up in their shite. That move set off a distrust and hatred for the United States that continues to today. And if iran did the same to the US, we'd feel the same way.
