Samantha Kortenhoeven and her mother, Bobby Stephens, laugh on their back porch on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024, at their home in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Stephens had to take care of her mother with dementia and doesn’t want Kortenhoeven to have the same life. “I don’t want her to stay and take care of me,” Stephens said. “She needs to live her life.”
