[quote=Anonymous]One parent has significant dementia and is being cared for by spouse who is physically healthy but overwhelmed and unwilling to admit that husband is sick. She is putting all of her energy into trying to hide his decline and accommodate him without drawing attention to what she is doing for him. House is starting to have significant maintenance issues that are going on but not being dealt with before structural damage occurs. I’m the only family member remaining. I tried pointing out the issue and gave them a number of a contractor but they won’t acknowledge the problem. They can afford to fix the damage so money is not the issue. It’s a sanitation issue. I’m learning toward just letting to go and keeping my distance because they won’t accept help. I feel bad but you can’t help people who won’t accept help. Anyone else go through this? It’s gotten so bad that I am uncomfortable even visiting them for more than a few hours.[/quote]
