Reply to "Loosing my mind, what's left of it!"

I am so sorry to hear all this, Eric. I agree that you cannot continue on the way you are. If you cannot relocate your parents, and even if you can, you probably need to hire outside help to care for them. Running yourself ragged does you or them no good, so you have to compromise, regardless of the promises you made. I suppose you could pack up and move in with them, at least temporarily, until you sort out what their long term needs will be. But then, what about Freddie and your independent life? Your parents would not want you to sacrifice your happiness in order to dote on them. It could work for a couple of months, but it is no long term solution.

 

Go to your local social services outlet to get advice on what services are available. And, if you have not done so yet, see an estate attorney about durable power of attorney, advance directives, etc..

 

I wish I had a magic wand to make your parents' and your health problems vanish, but I guess we have to accept things as they are, not as how we want them to be.
