Getting harder everyday!
My 92 yr old dad has been living with me and he’s the patriarch of all our family dysfunction…he’s always shit stirring daily.
He is entertained with family drama, I refuse to play into his games. I simply tell him daily ( maybe 4-5 times) that if that entertains you -you’re an asshole! He’s response is always -I am an asshole get over it!
He’s has a trust and his entire trust is for one granddaughter. I do not care. I hate the drama it brings into my house when she wants him to watch his spending but I do not care about that either.
I take him to a senior center for 2 full days of playing cards and I take him to the casino for playing cards. It’s what he loves and I’m am grateful he is able to still entertain himself.
I was with my mom to the very end with dementia and I’m riding him out as long as I can simply so I can say I have been there till death with both parents and my only sister.
It’s for me….
I read all these horrible conditions so many are stuck in and it breaks my heart.
I’m so sorry for each and everyone of you stuck in this struggle. This flat sucks!
You are deeply respected more than you know. You are stronger than you know. ♥️
