@goldie01 So we meet again! I can imagine it must be so difficult for you. Have you looked into nurses aides who could come in to help you? Or maybe there are some people at your church. And you said that family/friends have offered little help. Have you told them that you’re having a really difficult time and you’d love some help. Maybe you could try asking and see what happens. Think you could do that?

@becsbuddy I have tried but there is never an offer. Selfishness takes priority...vacations, having fun, enjoying life. Suffering and helping others is unpleasant and thus avoided at all cost. My theory is that we all will experience difficulty. The only support we have been given is if we pay for it. I am looking for a reasonably priced senior apartment in the West. The stress of my situation has taken a huge toll on my life. My partner is unable/unwilling to see how difficult is has been for me to manage. I feel no one understands.
