My husband and I have been taking care of father in our home for two years. He has gotten to the point where we can't leave him alone any more. We both work still. We have some one to come in the afternoons because he sleeps most of the the time. He is now between moderate severe to severe stage. To spare the details We finally took him in to a specialist and confirm what my husband has been saying. It's not if but when, Meaning the dementia we can't control and knowing where our limits are and the resources. This is hard and draining on us. We decided father has to move where he can be safe. We need our life and house back.
I hope this is thread is in the right spot. I kind of feel sad that we can't help him at our house anymore. I feel we betrayed him.
Has anyone else have this happen?
