[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP   I was distraught when I wrote that incomprehensible post.  You described my emotional moral conundrum, perfectly.   
My DW has lost all cognitive ability, she no longer can communicate.  This related to Alzheimer's because the person I loved and was 100% loyal to has ceased to exist.  I have been told to place her in a NH, not to sacrifice my life.  I have discussed this other women with our two daughters who reacted - Dad, we don't know how you do it, caring for mom as you.  You're entitled mom would want you to be happy.  She's a lucky lady to have you.  (they've met at DC)  
Why can I accept this all I end up feeling is guilty[/quote]

sorry, OP - But as a daughter, I'd hate you.

My mother did indeed sacrifice her life and her money to care for my father at home.  And believe me when I say that men were coming out of the woodwork.

Do what my uncle did.  He put his wife in a home and divorced her. And then he moved on and never gave her a second thought, as she became her kids' responsibility.  At least he wasn't cheating on that poor soul.  [/quote]
