I find it much harder to deal with seeing my mother lose her hearing and become increasingly dependent on asthma medicine and dad with all his ailments than anything I face of my own. I wish I could just keep them in a big hug and protect them from the world, but I guess that wouldn't be any kind of life for them. <br><br>My folks were fighting to the point of threatening divorce less than a year ago because my dad wanted to stay in Pittsburgh and my mom wanted to move to Maryland so they could be close to me and my sister. I'm so glad she won him over. I see their physical condition and I know they're gonna need us. Plsu it's sooooooo nice to have them near. It's as though we had stopped being a family for those twenty years and now we're getting re-acquainted. <br><br>I dunno, in a way, it feels great to worry about them like I do.<br><br>Fred<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-36530756621267643272006-10-27T08:50:00.000-07:002006-10-27T08:50:00.000-07:00Well I think the problem was your first thing you ...Well I think the problem was your first thing you said. Out with adults more than a month ago. Protect your sanity and get out Robin. The best thing you can do is check with senior services in your state. They will happily do a lot for you since they are paid by the government to do i. From food to help with bathing. Also make sure your dad's pressure is good and he is not developing any heart problems. ~ MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-1523469195721311932006-11-07T11:33:00.000-08:002006-11-07T11:33:00.000-08:00That parents-with-illnesses thing really sucks. Yo...That parents-with-illnesses thing really sucks. You know my story, so I dont have to repeat it, but my dad had muli-infarct dementia like your father has now. It's a tough road, and worse for you because you dont seem to have any help in riding herd on his life along with yours. <br><br><br>ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
