Hi McDonald,
I think in my heart of hearts here I have to carry on with this. He depends on me so much. There is another family member that is co-dpoa for him , but this person is too busy with their life to pay attention to Dad and his needs. So technically I should have a back up , but realistically I dont. I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters but none lift a hand to help , except when they see I have gotten behind on a bit of housework there , then they may wash the dishes or something like that. Nothing more though. Thats like maybe once or twice a year that may happen. I'm not sure how much time he has left. He is failing in health so bad. I am not wishiing for it , please dont get me wrong. But once it does happen , I think I may wash my hands of it all. Leave it up to the Jones's so to speak. I just want him to have the peace of mind he never gave me when I told him of my abuse. Idont want to have him feeling that rejection I suppose. He's the only parent I have left, I still need to treat him with love and respect as much as I can while I can. To me , I guess that is the right thing to do. Thanks for your suggestions though. I do appreciate them. Take care Grace~
