[QUOTE="Janspice, post: 1039601, member: 258620"] I agree I looked after my father for 8 years with dementia as well as my daughter and her needs. when he eventually,went into a nursing home I collapsed with mental and physical exhaustion. I would not do it again and would not recommend it. Especially as the abuse you can receive in this situation takes longer to recover from. You may find he appreciate you more if you are not doing the careing. In any event you have done your best and deserve a life. Giving him 24/7 care will destroy a part of you. And it's not your fault. You cannot imagine the relief you will feel when he is in a nursing home the fact that he is getting expert care and you get to do the visits when and for as short or long as you like. Do it!
