Liz CA Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sigh. One day, our kids will post about us. It is a hard season to watch one's parent's health deteriorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 My sister deals with my alcoholic dad, and it frequently drives her to drink, lol. I hear you. I am willing to do my share, but she lives closer to my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Χά�ων Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I get it. It sucks. I am too young for them to be this old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Add me to this club - though right now, more with in-laws than my parents unless I add in my dad (who I don't contact often). I've become convinced I don't care to live to be old if there are mental or significant health issues. My grandmother tried to warn me that getting old stinks (but even she didn't use stinks). I was too young to understand her at that time. I understand fully now. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merry gardens Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (((hugs))) While it may seem some days like the season of life with aging parents will last forever, it won't. Mortality is hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 :grouphug: :grouphug: Must be so hard. I'm not there yet, though my parents are both very elderly! 88. They are in great health and travel and cook and help ME out a lot. But I know those times are coming -- probably soon, and every time I'm with them now I just want to hug them.

Tiramisu Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm not dealing with parents but grandparents. I don't think it's quite the same emotionally, but the day to day care is hard. My grandmother's dementia is advancing, but she laughs so much, and that somehow makes it more bearable. She was always sweet but I think I like her more than I ever have because doesn't care about being a proper lady anymore. It sure makes things interesting.

Lawana Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Round two for us. MIL died a little over a year ago. Just spent 20 hours in the ED wIth my mother for a fainting episode that had to be checked out. The club. What fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
