All consuming….
Drama, drama, drama, our life has plenty….latest update….cagey ole guy refused to go back to the rehab facility…so was discharged to home….Stanley called last night to speak to his dad and update him that Stanley was flying up to Ohio on Sunday…to assist them to get organized and to press charges against his nephew as the DPOA… welllllllll…his father went berserk…yelling in the phone for us to mind our own business and he would take care of his own business and that he was not going to press charges against his grandson….and "don’t come up here."
Exit stage left Stanley and Ollie, not hard for us to get the hint…..now today to see if I can get any money back from the airline? Of course, we will end up the bad guys again…
i sometimes think we’d be better off if each of us lived alone and had no family! so much drama. will say a prayer for peace in the family. hope you are able to get your money back from the airline. take care,

Oh dear……sigh. I’m with your other noters. If you can afford it, see if you can change the tickets for somewhere else. Such a shame to have no peace, and to have to worry about Stanley’s dad!

I’m sorry Ollie. I know you must feel hurt and frustrated. You cannot make them protect themselves. Why do people have to learn the hard way? Can’t Stan file charges against the nephew?
Warning Comment
The two of you can’t be the bad guys, Ollie, because you both have tried so hard. Elderly parents can sometimes be like children. My mother was livid with anger with my sister when she had to move in with her after the doctors stated that she could no longer live alone because of the cancer. My sister bore that anger with grace but it hurt it as I am sure you all are hurt too! Love,

so sorry. you acted in good faith. i hope you can get that money back, or that you can take a real vacation, even if only for a few days!

detachment is the key, for sure…it doesn’t mean you don’t care…they know you do……you are wise to back off at such times. Hang in there…hugs to you and Stanley…

Family is so heartbreaking and yes…all consuming sometimes. I think I might be tempted to do as he asks – but send a card. Apologize (even if it isn’t right to do so), and say you will do as he asks, but that you are always there if he needs you for anything. Just my opinion. Take care. I wish you well…

It seems that our children think we are the bad guys when they are growing up and we say no and then it seems that our parents think we are the bad guys when we are just trying to help. Blessings to you dear and hang in there. When their days are over we will look back on this and know we did our best and love them for all they were to and for us when they were at their best. All we can do is

really do our best and pray that God will do the rest. My heart goes out to you. I have been in that place of taking care of parents and told “I’m a big boy and can take care of myself”, I know it hurts. May God bless you with strength and peace through all of this. Thanks for your note Blessings
