I got back from a lovely Christmas in Scotland visiting family - baby grandson was a delight.
OH went to his son's
He got home shortly before I did.
I arranged carers to cover in the interim.
I got back 11.00pm and he was as drunk as a lord, and in a state - could not put one word in front of another. I was really disappointed in him.
Anyway, his son rang me and said that he now realised how difficult it was looking after his Dad, and he wanted to phone social services to get more help for me.
Anyone who has read my posts in the past will know I have been at the end of my tether for an age.
We live in a semi bungalow, in a lovely village which we both like very much. And it is safe for himself. The lady who lived in the other half of the semi went into a nursing home about 3 months ago, and will not be coming home.
I had a Christmas card from her only relative, a niece who lives 100's miles away. I have been keeping an eye on the bungalow for her, She said that she wants to consider renting it out.
Today, OH's son, has spoken to social services, and they want to send someone out to assess the situation, as they realise I feel as though I need to put some space between OH and me - not finish with him, but not to be his 24/7 carer as it is too much for me.
Does the idea of moving into the bungalow next door seem like a good one?
There is nothing else available to rent within 10 miles of here, as we are pretty remote.
HAVE A WONDERFUL 2020, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. YOU HAVE ALL BEEN A TERRIFIC HELP TO ME (AND EACH OTHER) DURING 2019.
THANKS EVERYONE !!
