[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was with you until you said you live 1800 miles away.
Without your brothers doing the heavy lifting, would you have still left your parents in their home?[/quote]

Yes, if I could afford it I would have kept my parents at home.  My parents had 24 hr professional caregivers and other outsourcing to handle the load.  They were receiving better care than a nursing home. [/quote]

As someone with a child with profound special needs who has care provided by the state 22 hours a week, if you weren’t there, I think it is very unlikely you know the specifics of the care being given. I’ve been doing this for 13 years. Managing the people coming into your home, dealing with things when they get sick or don’t show, communicating changes regularly for care is a lot.

It sounds like Judy is difficult. But just tralalaing like this woman had no legitimate points must have been incredibly frustrating to her. Frankly, your brother sounds like he could be potentially a nightmare husband if he actually ignored her concerns to the point she felt she had to reach out to his siblings.

I don’t care if you invite Judy or not. I doubt she would want to come, but you need to stop telling yourself that your sibling had all these choices not to deal with care issues.[/quote]
