[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't want to be his nursemaid and based on their arrangement it seems reasonable. Take her at her word and make other arrangements for your FIL. And know that going forward you can't overly rely on her. [b]I'm guessing your 89 FIL may be worse off that you think and she is overwhelmed by it.[/b] [/quote] This. Open your ears, OP. Listen to what she's trying to tell you. She knows more than you do about FIL's condition. You should not have assumed that she would handle things. She's simply too old. I understand this is difficult and comes as a shock to you, but you've gotta find a way to deal. When someone is 89, every day is a gift and a person's adult children should know that and be prepared for the other shoe to drop at any time.[/quote]
