Hi everyone,
Hoping to get some advice on this board.
My dementia suffering Grandfather has recently moved into residential care.
For the past year or so - he's been living with my father and has received hardly any calls/visits/acknowledgements from his two other relatives. (Cousin and one other son.)
It's absolutely shameful that his other son and my younger cousin don't care and don't seem to bother. I get so angry. They are just a disgrace.
Now that my Grandfather is in the care home I have decided to confront them.
How should I approach it? Diplomatically?
All I want is for them to show some love and care. send some cards, a simple call ....is that so hard? I shall wait til my Grandfather passes before I truly let them have it. But for now....my grandfather needs to have some connection to them.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks so much.
