Jessica, are you alone, with no support? No family willing or able to help? You say there are no kind words....are you isolated from people? Is dad so ill that he is negative to you? Do you feel stuck there with no way out? I ask this last question because that is what happened to me.
I thought I was going to just be finding my aunt a nurse to live with her, but in her desperation of not wanting anyone else in her house (except me)...all sorts of things were keeping me from getting back home to my family for a year. (plus months the previous year)
Between going back into the hospital, on and off, she was running off anyone that was a potential helper....except me. I couldn't just leave her. Everything was working just the way she wanted it to. She got to stay in her home and have someone that loves her and that she trusts, take care of her.
I know if she had been in her right mind and not so fearful, she would have never wanted me to be away from my family like that for so long.
Don't loose faith. My dad and aunt did not have to go into a nursing home...other than for rehab after surgery and a very short stay with hospice. There should be no guilt in any of this, you have blessed lives in your giving....but I know how hard it is on our hearts. We just want them to be happy.
You are truly on my heart dear one....and I know on God's heart as well.
