[quote=Anonymous]The despair is real - watching elderly parents refuse to plan for the inevitable. Mine still had a working horse breeding operation when my mom died, then dad had a stroke. Two hours away, only child with full time job and kids. Do you know how much time it takes to care for 20 horses (most not sellable because they are elderly as well). The last two years have aged me a decade. My pleas to downsize or move closer fell on deaf ears. The last thing mom said to me before she died is she wish they had sold the horses sooner. After her death, dad fell into deep depression and what social workers call “total self neglect” but refused any help until a stroke left him disabled. Now it’s all a terrible mess for me to try (but inevitably fail) to make better.[/quote]
