Caring for my mom Member since September 27, 2008Just turned 60, married, 3 boys all married, 1 grandson, 1 grandchild on the way. Live in Florida, Grew up in Dallas.
Mom just moved in with us in september this year, had her stroke 1995.
Am an adult child of an alcoholic.
Naval Father killed when I was 2. Mother remarried when I was 4, step father was verbally and emotionally abusive, mom was enabler.
I do have a great husband who helps alot with the chores. I have 3 wonderful sons all with great jobs and wives. One grandson who is now 10 months old .
Now I have a beautiful Grand daughter who was born in March 2009. I love to Needlepoint and crochet which is what I do wil I stay at home with my Mom She needs round the clock care and it is me. I just had 2 months off while my sister took care of her, I don't think my Mom wants to go back there because it wasn't as nice as she thought it would be. It did give her a bit of a new perspective on how what she has with my husband and myself. I am considering or trying to find answers as to when it is time to move her into a nursing home. The strain is really beginning to show.
