[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree generally that older disabled parents should not be the priority, but what can you realistically do? The Medicaid thing suggested above is absurd. My mother was in one of these places this summer and it was inhuman. We as a society have simultaneously extended lives beyond when they are worth living, and at the same time made it a norm to break apart geographically tight families and organizations—which just lines the pockets of the elder care industry. We need to have a reckoning with this; it is unsustainable.[/quote] I’m the SAHM above. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on home remodeling, cars and travel. Dh thinks I have guilt problems. Dh is totally fine with me spending thousands on anything I want but has a problem committing to shelling out for a huge nursing home bill for an unknown amount of time. The rehab center my dad was at was truly depressing. I feel like it is where poor people go to die. [/quote]
