You need to tell him that your mother needs to see him and you need him to help you share the burden of dealing with her, as well. Not that taking care of your mom is a burden, but it is taxing and tiring, and he needs to help share some of the load. If he really is uncomfortable seeing her that way, maybe you could take her out to lunch (if she's up to it) and he could meet you for lunch. That way he could see how her health has declined and how much she needs to see him. It would make the first trip to the nursing home a little easier, maybe. Good luck to you. I know that's a tough spot to be in, and I feel for you.

Regardless if he doesn't want to see his Mum like that you need the support and it is not about him it is about your Mother ,, I have two sisters in nursing homes and whle I find it very stressful to go but it is important to do so ,as my sisters never married and have no children to visit them so my other sister and myself know the responsbilty to visit them .

You feeling you have to make up for his not going is your issue not his. You can not force him to visit his mother it is a decission he has to make for himself.
