I never expected to read this. I too am having difficulty with relatives. My in-laws are 94 and 93 and he takes sole care of her. Proud man. I take her on Monday's to an adult day care. They are wonderful. My oldest sibling, a sister, is failing. Today I feel defeated. So defeated I don't want to talk to her anymore. Then I read your blog and the comments. I esp. like Susan's comments. I need to sew tonight, go to bed and face tomorrow. My kids will look at me and how I handle this and who knows someday it could be me.

It's the behaviours, the manipulation and the verbal aggression which escalates in the evenings. Also risk taking behaviour such as walking without her 4 wheel frame. She had 3 falls in one week. I miss my sewing and creating things so take great pleasure from seeing other peoples' work and accomplishments. Sewing is such great therapy. Keep up the good work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395956588691224595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520617063923915458.post-9584431584084379892016-04-27T19:25:31.498-06:002016-04-27T19:25:31.498-06:00Sometimes in situations like this one the caregive...Sometimes in situations like this one the caregiver says what is he purpose of C going through this. It says in the Bible, it is because others will learn from your loving care of C. Jesus was a servant and He called us to be like Him... Who would know what "be like Him" means without people like you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940800108344551940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520617063923915458.post-1525856462426916362014-07-02T18:51:21.032-06:002014-07-02T18:51:21.032-06:00I am so very glad that your father in law was so f...I am so very glad that your father in law was so fortunate to have you!!

In my not too distant past I too have cared for Alzheimer's patients and dementia impaired seniors, it is difficult with family and emotionally it scars, but, with all the love you delegate to the care you give, you'll see it works out and is worth each and every second..
