She might as well titled that rant "Dear Tattle"... Can she make it anymore obvious she reads here?
I'm sorry, I dont have a lot of sympathy for her after those posts. All she's done is make it about HER. Alzheimers is incredibly sad and I'm going through it for the second time right now with my grandma (my grandparents were my legal guardians so basically my parents). It is heartbreaking to watch and it is draining, but I have to keep going despite my myriad of anxiety, depression, autism and ADHD.
I would have more sympathy if she arranged counselling for herself rather than moping at home spending money and sending Tony round to care for him instead. She isn't helping herself or helping her dad if she's on not in a fit state mentally to be there for him when he needs her. It really is that old adage of you can't pour from an empty cup.
Very emotive topic, but needs to be spoken about with a therapist. Therapy will help imma.
Also, I find it works well to go along with what they're saying. When my grandma is saying 'my dad will be downstairs to give me breakfast soon' I just agree with her and say they'll be there shortly and to divert her to another activity.
I agree. I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of sympathy for her. Don't get me wrong, this is extremely, extremely sad that it's happening. But she has only taken action after we raised concerns on here. That is disgusting!! She only seems to care now we've discussed it. Hence my lack of sympathy. I have seen zero effort from her.
Also, he smokes! That is so dangerous! He shouldn't be on his own. And she says that he's had carers going round, is that the sister in law? It just doesn't add up
Why did he need cleaning doing. Why are his clothes dirty and full of holes? Why is he left alone with his medication (going off what she said on christmas day)
Remember when she was meant to go round and didn't because there was a flood?
She said he can't live with them 'for a whole host of reasons'. Go on then emma, what are the reasons? You don't have an ill husband or children. You have a hands off passive business. I'd love to hear the reasons.
She is selling his stuff (preparing for something emma?). Is this to pay for his care? She is buying herself presents from him. If it were me, I would never do that. She got cross when he forgot her birthday before.
Is this where tony has been going? To help out her dad?
Oh woe is me she keeps saying she is depressed from it but has done sweet fa for her dad or herself. It's awful but I expect nothing less from her.
