[quote=Anonymous]I went through something similar. My dad died a couple of years back so maybe some time and distance has softened how difficult everything felt at the time. OP I have some much empathy for you. Ultimately I kept my dad with us til he died and I’m glad I did. He just wouldn’t have done well in assisted living (not to mention how expensive it is). I can’t predict your dad’s future but if he’s not in the greatest of health and you don’t think he will live many more years, could you come up with a plan where he stays with you but your local sibling helps more? I have many, many regrets about my moms death and wish I could have done things differently, but with my dad I feel good about how I managed to make him as comfortable as possible in his last years. But seriously, do whatever you need to do, it sounds like you are really struggling and could use a lot more support. It’s very, very hard having a family, a job and also taking care of an ailing parent. [/quote]
