I think its important to remember sometimes that just because parents are elderly doesn't mean they are nice. My grandmother who just turned 90 is a vicious woman who would gladly destroy anyone who was foolish enough to live with her. I see no reason why any one of her children should sacrifice their emotional well-being for her.
Likewise, were I to move in with my mother it would be a disaster. As it stands, I am of more support to her emotionally living away than I would be if we lived together. I don't believe I need to give up my life and well-being to be a good daughter.
