[quote=Anonymous]He is in the late stages of dementia.  He needs 24/7 support.

I don't understand how you cannot understand that despite his needs it is still a joy to have him in our household.  We made some major changes to our lives to accommodate him:  large -secure- addition to keep him safe with both indoor and outdoor space, 24-7 care, enrichment services like art and music therapy, etc.

One person, perhaps it is you, was so crass as to say that we are doing it for the money.  Hah.  Not that we are counting a dime but we spend far more in care than we do on our children's schools.  And he is worth it.  We would not change a single choice that we've made because he is a member of our family and what we're doing has blessed us in so many ways.  I'm sorry that you're such a small-minded and short-sighted person that you cannot understand that.

That you *need* to go on vacation and that you could call any person *addled* is horrifying to me.  You are disgusting and a horrible example of a human being.  I am so glad that I do not know you and that you are not in our neighborhood.  People like you make me want to throw up.[/quote]
