Hav...Sorry to hear how things are going right now. Have your parents looked into any kind of home health care options? I know the *idea* of having family members care for an ailing parent is the ideal situation, but sometimes it isn't always practical. I also understand the cost of hiring home health care is a burden. Is your father old enough to qualify for medicare/medicaid? Is there any ministry within your parish to which *you* could turn for help or support from time to time? Are your folks members of a parish where *they* could turn to for support?<BR/><BR/>Laura, please don't feel like a selfish brat. You are NOT the only child in your family and should not have to shoulder this all on your own just because you don't have a job outside the home which pays you money. Would you feel differently if you weren't at home, if you worked a 40+ hour week and received a paycheck? Would your mom treat you differently?<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you all in my prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834241781924394474noreply@blogger.com
