Find Care & Housing
Sounds familiar, not totally except dad cheating. So me being number 7 of eight kids when this was happening I was sent to my room so I only knew that someone was upset. After my mom finally got my little sister and I and left dad, I was so heartbroken years dad remarried and my poor mom stood single till she passed away at 90 dad passed away five months before he also was 90.
Dad was being abused by his wife (my siblings said it was payback)and social services from the VA stepped in. I became his caretaker he only lasted two weeks because when I got him he was in such poor health, my siblings kept telling me to put him in a home for Veterans with dementia but I couldn’t and like I said he only lasted two weeks four days with me and the rest hospitalized till he passed away. My siblings never forgave him but the day he passed away, they all were saying that they regretted not letting the past go and spending his last days with him they even often say “ Im sorry I didn’t help you take care of him” One day I put him on the phone with my mom and they talked for a good while and the best part was when he asked my mom to forgive him for all that he put her through. Since they passed away five months apart I made the funeral in their home town buried them side by side. Since then I’ve lost four siblings and I buried them all together. Im old now recently lost my husband too.
I hope you find some peace in your heart, try to enjoy your well deserved retirement and if possible get someone to help watch them and get away just you and your husband. I think it would help if your dad apologized to your mother. ❤️
You've done an excellent job taking care of them just don’t let your father get away with nonsense and tell him who’s house he’s living in.
Take care, sorry this wasn’t a answer for you and it probably didn’t help at all but truly from the bottom of my heart I hope things get better ❤️
