[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent didn’t live with us but we took kids to visit multiple times per week from preschool to middle school age. I think it taught them empathy and patience but I realize living with them full time might have been very different and much harder. [/quote] I think you need to clarify here. I can see how visiting a calm and loving grandparent would build this. Many of us saw our parents become combative, sexually inappropriate, verbally, emotionally and/or physically abusive and/or highly paranoid with Alzheimers. I certainly hope you are not thinking visiting a parent like this with young children teachers empathy. OP I hope you have a therapy fund of the parent has the "challenging" type of Alzheimer's, both for you and for your kids and spouse. We didn't have said parent living with us, we decreased visits and stopped including kids as abuse increase, but it still caused a lot of damage.[/quote]
