[QUOTE="DDD, post: 398444, member: 35"] Yikes! Talk about a FULL plate......you've got it. Sorry there is so much pressure. Personally (and I sure don't know, of course, if it is doable) I would make an effort to go for ONE day. Your son knows how stressful your life is so he probably won't expect you to attend at all. on the other hand, I think it would be a great jesture of solidarity if you could get there for one day to show that he is special. He probably knows how much he is loved but for you to make that extra effort might have significant impact on his perception. Does your Mom have any form of respite? The Dept. of Elder Affairs should be able to lend a helping hand. Perhaps just a few hours away from the house and advice on handling the symptoms of dementia. Sometimes there is more help available than people expect. Encourage her to reach out. I am sending sincere prayers your way as you cope with so many difficulties. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
