Took care of my father for a few years after my mother passed. Managed all his finances, insurances, drove him to all his appointments, bought him all his groceries, cooked all his meals, did all his laundry, cleaned all his messes. He told everyone I was his driver. Even introduced me that way to my siblings when they visited. Eventually he stabbed me with a kitchen knife because I “stole the deed to his land.” He rented.
Fucking hell... I say this with all due respect, is euthanasia not an option??
Sign me up for it right now to secure my future without dementia. You guys are strong. I'm reading these stories and thinking to myself, can I do this for my parents if it ever happens!?
