Find Care & Housing
I'm sorry I really didn't give any information did I?
My husband is helping to take care of his parents in Colorado. Mom has stage 4 Cancer and Dad has beginning of Dementia. They live full time with his sister's family. For the last 26 months my husband has been going back & forth (mostly there) to help for months at a time. No matter where he is he feels bad that be is not in the other place. I'm supportive most of the time but I feel incredibly selfish for wanting him home. He decided to come home for a longer period of time this time but I need to figure out a better way to be supportive emotionally. I believe he is incredibly lucky to be able to have this time with his parents but at the same time he is missing out on big life events here. It breaks my heart to see him torn between being home & being with his family there.
