Hi ribit!
Just got home from a day at my dad's. I mowed his large lawn and spent some time talking with him while he was awake. I feel pretty good about our talk and I think for the first time in my life he understands and knows that I am a son who loves him and will take care of him... That has taken a lifetime.
YOU sound like you have had the same family members that I have.
Bunch of excuse makers.
The only problem they have is me.
I told sis today that Dad has four people that have his DNA and gene pool. While I appreciate her saying how much she appreciates all the hard work I do looking after him, I had finally heard enough.
I told her in no uncertain terms that was well and good, however, it's about to stop. I cannot and will not continue to go it alone.
Which means YOU are going to have to get off your butt and inconvenience yourself and step up to the plate if you even think their is going to be anything left for you to inherit because I as POA will spend every last dime he has and there will be nothing for any of them to worry about.
She got the point.
I told dad today about his condition. He is okay with it and as we suspected, does not want to have tubes inserted into his liver or anything to prolong his life here. He wants to die and is ready to die and move on to eternity.
I will do everything in my power to make his desire wish happen and with the aid of Hospice to keep him out of pain, clean, and with dignity.
First time in over decades that we actually connected and had a heart to heart talk and I feel so much better....
