Dear Annie: Mother has bedbugs in her living room and bedroom and she’s ‘choosing to live with the bugs’

DEAR ANNIE: My mother lives alone and has bedbugs in her living room and bedroom. She also has a lot of clutter.

Lately, she is saying she thinks the bugs are gone because she can’t see any of them. But she cannot see very well, and when we check, we always find bugs. Because of this, we are limiting our contact with Mom to phone calls and occasional visits outside. It’s heartbreaking! DEAR BUGGED BY BUGS: Your mom’s inability to clear out the bedbugs has her feeling powerless, like it’s too much of an effort to clean, so she just lets them live in her house. You are right to be concerned. Living with bedbugs is not healthy for anyone. It is not right or ethical for your mom to allow people to visit her, knowing that the house has bugs.

Since I was a teenager, this has been going on with family, friends and marriage. How do I separate myself?
