[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and when you do all these lifesaving procedures to leave someone a miserable mess unable to care for himself, there is usually an adult child with kids and stresses now stuck with guilt, resentment, sadness and exhaustion even if the person just goes into a nursing home. You slowly kill the adult child who's heart breaks trying to bring some joy to a parent who is barely alive and the grandkids are the ones who truly suffer with a burned out and exhausted parent and a grandparent who is barely what you call living. This isn't right. Our parents changed our diapers and fed us for only so many years and we can spend decades dealing with a hostile, weak, ailing, pain-stricken barely living parent trying to what...keep them alive so they can lash out more and drown in misery?[/quote]

Wow. You need therapy. I'm sorry for whatever happened to your parent(s), but you need to get over the anger. [/quote]

You need to look at why the anger makes you so uncomfortable. This is the reality too many people face. I have gotten plenty of therapy while dealing with aging parents deteriorating over many years. My therapists has heard many stories like this and encourages people to share their experience. You cringe and can't stand to hear what it does to families. Consider yourself lucky if your situation was far different.[/quote]
