[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 252886, member: 1436"] Daisy---I know so much that feeling of limbo. I lived with it for 10 long years. husband's father had a stroke in 1999. He had another in 2000. After that he was bedridden and in a vegetative state until his death in 2007. mother in law was active in his care until her stroke in 2003---after that, they were both bedridden, although mother in law did communicate. husband and sister in law continued to care for both of them, at home, with little to no outside help. We did have someone come every evening to help bath father in law---but that was it. It was a long, long struggle. Every part of my life was put on hold. About the same time, husband went into a major depression---nothing like wiping your dad and caring for him like an infant to send you over the edge. He started abusing drugs. I was single parent most of the time and had major difficult child issues and easy child was a young teen and horrendous. I hated my life and really just existed for a very long time. I hope that mother in law either gets healthy enough to come home soon or she is able to go with dignity and respect. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
