I'm pretty sure I hit a wall this weekend. I'm going to try and see if I can individually meet with/talk with hospice because there are things about this whole situation that are bothering me a great deal and I am mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I went and did some stuff this weekend but I felt both guilty for leaving and at one point afraid of what might happen leaving some people alone. Which had to do with some stuff that happened and there are things hospice is just not equipped to deal with, it turns out. We completely and totally suck at dealing with psychosocial issues in this country. We really do.

I grew up in a time when my country too would prefer to dump problems on the family, and I watched my mother go through much of the same that you do now. Things have improved here over the last 50 years, I wish they had on your side of the pond too.
ReplyDeleteI'm becoming increasingly concerned that you are edging on an elder abuse case. I don't know what it's like to be there, but it really does sound like your mom is abusing your father to a point where it might actually be life threatening. I'm often scared for both you and your dad.
ReplyDeleteF-L Silver yeah, I’m with Stefanie: I have none of the details, just what you post here, but just reading along it’s.. not a happy picture, to say the least. I’ve pretty much been keeping my mouth shut because I don’t, can’t, and probably shouldn’t know details... but I do worry about all three of you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you strength.
Just got off a long phone call with Hospice Social Work. I have an appointment to meet with someone at Hospice Thursday morning. I'm really hoping to get some things straightened out then.
ReplyDeleteI don't know exactly where you live, but if it's getting to be as bad as we are afraid, don't hesitate to reach out to the appropriate government hotlines. We are all here to support you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't forget you are doing the best you can do and so is your dad. When you are in a tough moment, know you have support.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It makes a huge difference, it really does.
