Mothering Mother

In my English 101 class, we are reading Mothering Mother. At first I really didn't think that I would like the book. The beginning was choppy, and I didnt really understand. Now however, that I'm reading further into the book, I'm starting to see the conflict. The story is of a woman, grown herself with children and a husband, her mother, lives with them. Every day a battle with parkinsons disease for the womans mother. The story envelopes the different emotions and tearing mental battles the woman goes through to take care of her now degenerating mother. The emotional trials of her mother becoming so depend for care, but still thinking that she was independant. The more and more the Mothers memory loss and loss of function, the more strain and emotion we see in the Daughter. The battle of no longer becomes should we keep her or put her in a nursing home, but is keeping her going to drive the daughter to insanity. I haven't finished the book yet, but I'm sure it wont be a disappointment.
