If at 80 she is that active get her into a senior community where she can go and do things w other seniors. It will give you a break and give her something to do. It does sound not too fun and bad behavior isn’t ok. She probably just wants to live. She’s 80! It can’t b easy bring at this point in her life. Did she want to live w you ? Does your husband support you w all this? You can’t decide for him what he is willing to do but you can decide for yourself. Did you know this was the deal when you married him? Some things to think about
