rlvied 292 Posted August 16, 2013 If your dad was a veteran I would check out some of the programs they have to help out. My wife and I take care of her 91 yr. old mother and because her father was a vet she get a little help with a care giver. If it wasn't for that we would both be crazy now. Just check out the VA and see if they can help. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plbrooks 13 Posted August 18, 2013 There's got to be some sort of respite care program for caregivers where you are... check with your social services department and see if they have anything. And definitely take some time for yourself... you need time to unwind and unload and and decompress and deal with stuff yourself. Talk with your mom's caregivers and see if they offer any kind of family counseling or can recommend something - sounds like your dad is taking his fears about possibly being without your mom out on himself and on you. I believe in the power of prayer, and will be praying for and thinking about all three of you during this challenging and frustrating time. Hugs to you!!

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted August 19, 2013 My "step away from reality" is to sit down face to face with my Basset Hound and talk to him.....he just seems to get me [img=http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m505/flying_monkey1/sleepingslider.jpg] You know why a dog is better then a wife ....if you come home at 5pm the wife is ho..hum about seeing you the dog is tickeled to death to see you if you come in at 8:00 pm the wife is agitated and the dog is even happier to see you if you come in at 12:00 am katie bar the door but you know that damn dog is so excited to see you it may pee on its self. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
