[quote=Anonymous]Final note: if you don’t pursue assisted living then I think you need to have a come to Jesus with your siblings. Come up with a care schedule. Local sibling doing xyz thing with him on xyz days each week. Nonlocal siblings coming up for one week or weekend at a time every two months so you can go away. Things like that.

You say to them siblings, I am burnt out. It is impacting my physical and mental health greatly. And I’m going to be working full time. I need more help with dad. I’d like to come up with a care schedule where I can build in more support. Here are the things dad needs help with, have list of the things you do. Here are the things that would be helpful to have support on: x number of times per week, x. Someone to take him to x recurring Dr appointment he has monthly. One weekend every month to spend time with daughter and husband.

I’m making this up and you’d probably have to soften it so they don’t respond with defensiveness or guilt. It’s not to say hey you haven’t been doing enough but to say this is hard, dad is aging and needs more and I need you to step up [/quote]
