I'm sorry that your dad took your mom's behavior personally. It sure is hard not to though! I know.

My grandpa was dealing with grandma's hand up in the last year of his life. He didn't understand it either. Very different than her normal demeanor with him was. Maybe grandma felt this way towards him for years, and in her later years found the will to push him away?? Don't know ~ it's hard to say.

It is so hard to see those that we love struggle so much in basic life. Heartbreaking! There really aren't words that can express the emotions that we feel inside. Sorry is a huge understatement! Just holding your dad's hand and lending him your shoulder to cry on can help him a lot. Of course, you need emotional support to help you get through too.

Thank you for posting back to me. I was worried that you didn't like my response to your initial post . Sorry, but I am sensitive. It made me feel better to see the remark on your page though.

Hope that you can find some area of relaxation and peacefulness. It takes time, of course, but I hope that it comes soon! Very best wishes to you.
