[QUOTE="tawnya, post: 361927, member: 55"] You know one thing that really, really bothers me is that I DO have family around...in the same city. A brother, a sister, and an uncle ( who makes sure everyone knows that he has power of attorney ), cousins, etc. husband has older children who could help with mother in law. One would think that maybe just ONE DAY someone would help. I've seen enough from friends that this doesn't usually happen. Once you do something, it is now your job. One of those "no good deed goes unpunished" things. There is usually one "kid" that takes care of things. And, actually, that's fine with me, but sometimes I just need a break. We've tried the "elder care" and every time they have "fired" the person/nurse within hours. For some reason I just can't let the ball drop. I can detach from difficult child, but not my dad and grandma and pop. Lord help me, LOL. Thanks again for the support. tawnya [/QUOTE]
