My Mother had advanced Alzheimer***8217;s and was very difficult to deal with. She thought I was her husband. Mom would get mad at me for leaving her and ask how I could leave her in such a horrible place. She would say you just can***8217;t treat people like this. Mom would do this every time I went to visit her making the trip to the home very difficult. Mom could not stay with me in my house as she would wander and try to make it back to her house, the house she lived in with her parents when she was a child. She was my Mom and I love her and still miss her to this day. I held her hand, stroked her head and told her I loved her as she passed away***8230; I still feel guilty for sitting by her bed and not doing more to save her but know in my heart she is in a better place now.
My Mom and Dad had a full life and lived in to their eighties. They were great parents and I modeled my parenting skills after them. When I have a hard decision to make I ask myself what Dad would do***8230;
So,,, you do what you have to and take care of the older ones while they are here.
