[quote=Anonymous]I’m in the same position. Parents live in the UK. 67 year father is very physically healthy but has bad dementia. Undiagnosed but he can’t perform basic tasks and has zero short term memory. He even forgets me occasionally. 69 year old mum is doing a good job of looking after him but she’s not as physically healthy. Like OP I have no siblings. I don’t have a big salary but I have small children and a foreign husband. I’ve emigrated and it’s a permanent thing. OP, tbh I think I have my head in the sand and I try not to think about it most of the time. Life is busy so this is easy to do but I cry late at night when I think about it sometimes. The only marginally useful I do is research online to try and find resources for my mum. And urging her to get help with my dad. And I try and send lots of photos to help them feel connected to their grandchildren. [/quote]
