hey lach,
you're on the boat, baby. Man, I know what you mean about not being able to handle it anymore. Hang in there and know you're not alone as far as being crazy with the insanity of what we are doing.
Hugs and kisses and take care of yourself so we can go have fun in a minute.
Leaving for NJ in about an hour and will have my computer with me so keep venting! I'll be there listening and trying to crack you up about something stupid.

My father is essentially demanding we care for him. He said he doesn't want us to travel, go out at night or leave him alone or he will leave everything to relatives and tell family we have neglected him.

In NYC can a family member taking care of a parent with Alzheimer's get paid to do this? If so, that would really solve a big dilemma.

Grossed Out? Need to Vent? Just caught Mom using my toothbrush to comb her hair!

I secretly wish my elderly father would hurry up and die. (I take care of him full-time) Does that make me a terrible person and how can I stop thinking this?
