[quote=Anonymous]My elderly FIL has assumed care for my MIL who has a form of dementia which right now manifests as short term memory loss and loss of executive functioning skills. FIL refuses to ask for help and is very much in denial - that he can continue to take care of MIL at home, can manage daily activities, has it all handled, etc. Recently, FIL has needed ongoing medical treatment (outpatient surgeries and follow ups) and his plan is always that MIL goes along for the ride and DH or sibling drives and sits with MIL in waiting room. DH is tasked with helping again soon with another FIL appointment. I suggested that it’s unfair for MIL to have to go to every appointment with FIL and that he and sibling divide care: one stays at home with mom, another drives dad to appointment. This makes sense, right? [/quote]
