I've lost interest in everything all I do is watch tv with my 84 yr old Mother. The only place I go is grocery shopping and to all the doctors appointments. All my friend post pictures of them their family's and friends having fun. I'm not going to be this young again and I wish I was married. I don't want to end up old and alone.
I think you all are truly and honestly fabulous and beautiful because your even trying to do this and for the ones trying to care for parents who are not and never have been loving..well God bless you all and keep you and give you peace. My love & prayers are with us all
The only place I go is to the Drs!
My husband can still get around but has his own health issues and is very demanding.
I will never get married again.
I'm not much older than you. Yes I see my friends and family go out and go on vacations. It is not easy to watch.
I also take care of a 91 year old relative who is very demanding. If I'm not waiting on one, I'm waiting on the other!
I can't leave them alone to even go to the store. If anything ever happened, the other one wouldn't know what to do!
I brought up the idea of having a caregiver come in once a week so I could go somewhere, do something for a couple hours during the day. Both of them outright refused to have any such thing happen!
I have my own medical problems and I can't even go to my own Drs appts by myself.
If I leave the room to go do dishes they come looking for me.
I'm just letting you know that you're not the only one out there!
Good luck and God Bless.
My wife acquired nasty amyloid plaque front temporal dementia in 2007 at 45yo. I cared full time for 9 years. I love her and moved near hospital in country Australia purchasing home r100m away. I am very lonely but will not abandon her. But I need companion. Your thoughts....or any proposals...
Is that wrong.¿¿.
There is no estate to speak of so this won't be a issue.
My mom just went from hospital to rehab about 2 weeks ago. Although I hate the idea of her being there but at the same time I am thankful for the down time I so desperately needed.
It infuriates me that this is so often the situation on these boards...one sibling does it all, while the others dance through life. And yet the inheritance is split equally (in some inexplicable cases, a sib cares for a parent when they inheritance goes to someone else).
