[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am accused by my spouse of abandonment because I spend a quarter of each year caring for a 90-year-old widowed parent with dementia across the country. Kids all grown, retired, spouse retired and encouraged to join me. It seems to me that it’s right to care for a parent in need like a child in need, but spouse sure doesn’t see it that way. I’d be interested on the DCUM take on this situation.[/quote] This is an annual thing for 3-4 months? Didn’t you get them into a Memory Care unit? Do they even know you? Anyhow, you failed to mention your relationship health and state of the marriage before bragging about living far away with your parent 25% of EACH year. Convenient, both.[/quote]
