I went through this also with my father in law who lived in another state. Same thing - hoarding, moldy mobile home, floor falling in, bug infestation. In retrospect my husband and I wish we would have let him be or let social services find him a place to live.
Instead we took him in temporarily. The entire situation harmed the state of our marriage, and it took almost 2 years to recover from 4 months of dealing with him. He went to live with another relative in another state who later died, and the person who got the house in the will cannot get him out! (NY, covid, refuses to leave) It is a hot mess! All for a POS who had very little to do with my husband his entire life and would only contact him every couple of years when he needed money.
His other children had enough sense to write him off decades ago.
Life is too short to help certain people!
I live my mom and donβt want her to die alone especially in that mess but I am feeling more incluned to leave her in nursing care where the right people can care for her. I just had a spinal fusion in March (3rd back surgery) another back injury amd Iβm permanently wheelchair bound and my husbamd has had an aortic dissection in 2018 and surgery a tear later but still has a few Un repaired parts and if he has another dissection, heβs just dead, no time to get to hospital. I already told her I canβt move her until I get a caregiver who can come help out.
It sounds like you have a lot to deal with. I wish you, your husband, and your Mom well.
