How do you feel right now?

@Aileen - Oh thank heavens my cousin didn't start a family yet. It would have complicated matters, surely.  You never know, it might have affected her decision too.

I feel amazing. I saw Andy at the airport couple of days ago.

I wanted to comment on this yesterday but  it just slipped out of my mind. Weird.

Did you take a pic, Marek?  Tell us more!

Whoa, still love them? Seriously? Maybe if you are the 50 shades type. Rolling Eyes

And reasons like what, Aileen? Family and finance are the only two reasons apart from 'loving' them that I can think of.

And I didn't even think about the self-help groups. Yeah, maybe she will join one soon or already did. I don't think everybody tells me everything going on because I'm still not aware of the details of what she went through. And I understand if she doesn't me to know. Maybe when it is the right time..
Don't forget 'fear' Sabine! That plays a huge part in a lot of cases....both for themselves and any children who may be involved. Lots of women are told if they try and leave, they'll be found and killed. Often they are too scared to tell their relatives, for fear of putting 'them' in danger too! Once a husband becomes a wifebeater, it rarely stops and only gets worse as time goes by! That's why I think your cousin is not only brave, but wise too, to get out when she did! I wish her luck!

   There are wifebeaters/murderers  safely locked away for life that have "loving" wives. Incredible really.

Exhausted.   Going through stuff with an elderly parent who, bless, thinks I'm always here and can answer the phone and sort their problems out.  Tempted on many occasions to switch the ringer off - but how can I?  Urgh!

Thankfully I've never been in that position but I can understand how you must feel.

What can you do?  Not an option to turn your back - just have to manage as best as possible.

  I can sympathise. We ( my wife and I) have an elderly parent who is physically frail and housebound in his own home, but in full command of his faculties, and even with carer support it is very tying at times  running around after him.

I suppose you have to stick with it because they are your parents. You have to think they would have done the same for you when you were younger and needed TLC. Keep going strong Elly and Fiverings.

I know all to well how you feel. I looked after my mother for over a year. It was a real strain on my family. In the end she wanted to go back to Edinburgh
and stayed with my brother for a short time.I travelled back and forth to Edinburgh as I live in Fife. In the end I managed to get a doctor to come and see her as I knew she had dementia and would only get worse. We managed to get her into a good care home run by the council.I felt guilty but I knew it was the best for her. She had a couple of falls and fractured her hips. It may sound terrible but she passed  away peacefully in hospital. In the end she didn't recognise us when we went to visit. She died of heart failure.+

That must have been a very difficult decision to make LB, even although you knew it was the right one for your mother's sake.  I can understand too how you feel about her dying in hospital because it was the same with my mother who had terminal stomach cancer, but the hard truth was that there was no way she could have carried on staying at home even with somebody to look after her, and also I have nothing but praise for the way she was looked after by the hospital staff, particularly as I could visit at any time during the day which was just as well because it was the other way round with me - I was in Edinburgh and she was in Fife.

It is so difficult when parents need help , and very hard decisions to make ,, feel for everyone that has to . Went through it with my mother in law , we tried so hard to look after her but in the end she went into a home, they looked after her very well, she didn't know who we were and even hit us . Frown

A bit nervous. Work experience for two whole weeks. I'm doing it within college because of my state mentally (with the anxiety), but still worrying a bit. I suppose its only natural.

  Of course it is. You'll be fine after a couple of days. Stick at it and good luck.

Well that's great Connor! w00t As Fiverings says, of course you'll be anxious about starting as everyone is, but after the first day when you get to know a few people, you'll be a lot more relaxed and hopefully will find it interesting and enjoyable! Good luck sweetie and let's know how you get on! Very Happy
