[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideally, the GF should tell your FIL what the future plan is for their relationship and it will not include FIL staying/living with her at her home anymore.

However, since your DH and you are both there, I would suggest that all three of you sit with FIL and have a candid conversation about what his needs are and what kind of care he will need going forward.  And it won't be long-term care provided by this elderly woman.

IMO a team approach may be best here. I am sure the GF will still visit FIL wherever he may wind up, as long as she is able. They can still have a relationship, it will just be different.

If the three of you can present a united, caring front whose interests are making sure FIL is cared for sufficiently, that would be best. [/quote]

That's a very kind and mindful way to approach it with the FiL. Even if one may think the GF should step up and tell him directly, the group approach may offer him more comfort as he faces this transition.[/quote]
