My father has CHF and needs additional care. My mom is not capable of doing it and refuses to accept that. She has her own health issues. My mom has become extremely forgetful-which is very scary because my father is on so much medicine. The home health care aid starts tomorrow and I already feel bad for her!! My mom is going to be nasty! My one sister wants to say just forget it-if mom and dad don't want our help- there is nothing we can do about it. I am scared for my parents!! Please help-the past holidays were the worst!! Thank you!!!
There are raw emotions, instability and sibling conflict amongst my children now at a time when my husband, (their stepfather,) has been very ill and hospitalized at 94. I have severe eye problems and I am due to have the last in a seies of Avastin shots to the eye to try and stem recurrant WMD. At the same time, I have developed Posner Schlossman Syndrome and have neglected it since I am caring for my husband at home since he is a dear soul and my caring for him gives him comfort.
Now there is rivalry and friction between two of my children (sisters) over who should be in charge of me and a law suit that one of them insituted "for me" several years ago. I have had to take my matters into my own hands now and that has brought more raw emotion from the girls to be expressed even to the point of one daughter offering verbal abuse and bodily harm to me. The rest have taken sides against me with one exception
I see a lawyer's help is indicated for me and my personal handling of the law suit which stipulates that I want no money from it and they (the seven living children, ) all benefit equally.
Where did all those beautiful little children go whom I bore and loved when they were small?
God help us all, both aged parents and good and bad children as well and God help the human heart.
