Re: Son and elderly father
Hi folks, I'm back whining again! It seems to be very shallow when I look at other people's problems such as TR's battle against her OH and dad plus my friends' business is having to close this week.
But, tonight is my first night home since dad died and I want to phone him! I phone him every night for less than a minute. He asks if everything is ok, if I want him to do anything and if he can help. I want to answer yes to all those questions and I can't. OH doesn't realise how upset I am and I'm hiding it from my sons as I don't want to upset them.
There has also been a massive sibling fall out which is the culmination of years of jealousy.

Re: Son and elderly father
Hi all, I have only just looked at this thread. Looks like I'm not alone in all my problems. I can associate with all who have posted here.
Mum is in her third year of care and has gone as far as she can down to the depths of dementia. I also used to call her every evening to see how she was. Mrs Handy also never missed calling her mother twice a day, she left us now nearly 2 years ago. Time passes so fast but although you become impervious to the pain it never leaves you totally.
Even though you may reach for the phone each evening and then remember they are no longer here, they are still with us. They live on in memory. All the hurt and bad times do slowly fade and what is left are warm, loving memories.
Still it hurts though. We would be cold, poor shadows of human beings if it didn't.
Tomorrow I will read this thread from the beginning.
If I have learned anything from life, experiences are not unique although the pain of loss or family problems are excruciatingly personal, but if we cannot support one another who can we support.
Regards to all, Handy

Re: Son and elderly father
Well I thoughtI should post a little update. Dear son has returned to Ibiza to make his fortune...........
Roll on to Monday "I love you and miss you mum. I want to come home ASAP, please book my flight". All duly booked, then a conversation to say that he hasn't made any money and his drink had been spiked, causing depression!
Two days later and he has had the best 24 hours of his life! All his flat mates want him to stay and will pay for his new flight...... However I think he is still coming home.
Roll on the 16th when I get 2 sets of exam results and 2 suicidal sons!I'm an official AAD Moderator and also a volunteer, here to help make the forum run smoothly.

Re: Son and elderly father
Unfortunately the exam result sons aren't the Ibiza one. However the 17 year old baby has just come back from Greece and is now drying out!
Ah those hazy memories of youth
