Hi All
I am in a very sad situation
Dad was diagnosed was vascular dementia three months back and it is rapidly progressing. He is being treated and is sedated with drugs to calm him down.
I am married and live near my parents. My parents live next door to my elder sister.
My mother takes care of my dad.
my sister being the busy body she is, rarely does things for my dad. she only inquires about him from my mother. where as I try and stay over during weekends and let my mum go out to take a break from caring for my dad.
I had a dreadful conversation with my brother in law the other day, when i mentioned that we should be more involved with my dad, he said that my parents only loved me which is not true. They loved both of us.
Now my real problem is this, My husband is away and living in europe and the plan was to join him soon with my daughter. these plans were made last year and then my dad fell ill.
I am in two worlds right now , i need to join my husband soon coz we have been separated for too long now, and he needs us ( he is currently working there) even though the plan was to move there for us, i am hesitant since dad is ill and i know my sister n BIL wont care,
my mother wants me to go ahead but I am in two minds now....
what shall I do
