Alone without Family Assistance
by Arthea
I have recently moved them into an assisted living facility but after a month, it looks as though my father will be kicked out for basic dementia symptoms. I am also in the midst of trying to get their home of 35 years ready to sell so that there's money to pay for their care. All of this happens by myself on weekends as I live 2 hours away and have no family to help. I've been living like this for 2 years now and am at my wits' end. My parents are both very religious and are happy to go be with the Lord. I feel guilty, but I often with the Lord would just taken them and be done with it. Every aspect of my life is impacted and I no longer have time to spend with friends, have trouble concentrating at work, and don't enjoy anything anymore. My responsibilities keep me from pursuing what supports there may be out there because I'm not in the town I live in when others are free. I wonder when all this is said and done, will there be anything left for me?
