[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 324287, member: 3444"] TM, there's no rulebook for this part of life. And when you have a difficult child-parent, all bets are off for what's "expected." Accept your feelings however they come to you. There is no guilt. There is no shame. When I thought my dad was deteriorating earlier this year, I was concerned, but not really upset about his possible ending. I've detached a lot from him over the years, and frankly, I wish for my mother that his end would come sooner rather than later. That might sound heartless to some, but it's really a wish for my mother's quality of life, and to a lesser degree a wish for the end of his psychic suffering here on earth. Be gentle with yourself.
