[quote=Anonymous]My ILs are local. My FIL, age 80, has assumed care for my rapidly more confused MIL who has significant memory loss and cognitive decline. FIL refuses all help and is too cheap to consider moving. They are there to stay in their cluttered and crowded 2 story house and multiple cars. Each are one hospitalization, illness and or accident away from being unable to live there without the other. DH in denial and very happy to follow his father’s lead which is no interventions, no contingency planning - nothing. I’ve tried to make suggestions, offered to help organize, run errands, get second opinions, hire lawn service - and was ignored although I’ve managed the care of my late parents and to a lesser extent, my grandparents. But not my family of origin, so it’s all different and I don’t understand even though I’ve been part of the family for almost 30 years.[/quote]
