[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will tell you my situation although I don't know that it applies to you. My father was difficult and somewhat abusive when I was growing up (very controlling, very disapproving and manipulative, some physical abuse). He now has alzheimer's and lives 1,000 miles away. We have a relative who lives close by who my dad was giving some $ monthly to help him out (taking him to appointments, responding to emergencies) until he needed more care. Then, we got full-time daytime care -- a saint of a lady who is also paid. So there are basically two people juggling my dad and it works better this way. My siblings and I rotate visits and give the team a few days off each time. (We each try to visit every 2-4 months for a few days at a time, often working remotely.) [/quote] This is helpful. Thank you. I am so glad you found that saintly lady![/quote]
