I'm disabled and an only child taking care of both my parents with dementia. Mom is in a nursing home and dad is still at home. My friends can't help because my dad acts out sexually. I've started drinking because I can't deal with all of it. What can I do?
I'm sure you could find the cat a proper home.
But they don't put up with men who act out sexually. They send them to another NH and put them all together. I imagine they get horrible care. dad won't go because he has a young Siamese cat he loves. The NH would take her too except that dad didn't train her at all. She bites and scratches; walks through and eats his food. He got her as a kitten and I tried to get him to train her to use the toilet. She would have learned easy but he wouldn't follow through so she uses a box.She is bored with an old man that sleeps most of time but she is very protective of him. I don't know what to do with her is he goes into NH. I promised I would take her when she was a cute kitty. She would destroy my house in a couple of hours. I love her but don't want her. Any ideas? I think Dad loves her more that Mom now. Who do I tell that I just can't be in charge of them anymore?
