Find Care & Housing
Let it go. At 82, she made a choice. Read about daughters of narcissistic and the weapons of Fear, Obligation and Guilt. Short of nailing the door shut, you could not make her stay. Your mother would take over your entire life, drain you dry and look for your daughter as the next victim without blinking an eye. Let her be happy with her friend.

If I had a dime for every time I warned my mother that one of her decisions/choices was going to end badly - and it did - well, I'd be hiring someone to do everything I do and have money left over! When dealing with a self absorbed, stubborn parent who is still competent to make their own choices - no matter how badly you know it's going to work out - all you can do is try to warn them, let things play out, and them decided for yourself how long you want to - or are able to - pick up the pieces and clean up the mess. It's exhausting!
