Welcome back, @juniepoonie. I'm sorry though things are as they are for you. It's a long time you've been looking out for your BIL. I'm sure your sister would be very grateful to you for taking care of him. In the end, I suppose it doesn't really matter what his children think. You take care of their dad because of who you are, and not because of anyone else.

This must be a very difficult situation for you jooniepoonie. So sad that the close relatives rarely visit but it's good to hear that you look out for him and get some kind of response. Well done you.

Welcome back jooniepoonie,

Much better that he has you to visit him than someone who doesn't want to be there. Also you must get comfort that he and you are are linked through your sister who I'm sure you both miss very much.
Best Wishes to you. X

Hello juniepoonie, sorry to read that your BIL has deteriorated so much. Thank goodness you and your husband are there to visit and look out for him.
