My FIL is in a home an hour and a halfs drive away from us and as his second wife has just died we thought it would be best to look at moving him to be close to us or another member of the family.We enquired of the psych nurse who has his case and the staff at the home and they said that it would be ok.
Now my Brother-in-law and his wife who live at the other end of the country don't want him moved!
They only visit him about twice a year or when there is a crisis and as no-one will visit him now his wife has died we feel he is being abandoned. Unfortunately BIL and wife won't listen to reason and we have had to initate a meeting with the home and Psych nurse and doctors to decide on what will be the best interest for FIL.
My husband and myself, have visited every 2/3 weeks for years and dealt with all the crisis with no help at all from the other half of the family, so perhaps you can understand our feelings.
After all the care that we have taken it is now being taken out of our hands and is most upsetting
Thanks for reading this moan it just helps to vent the feelings
