I won't go into the details, but welcome to my life of the last 13 months taking care of a mental dementia delusional parent.
Simple question to ask yourself. Yes you can be the care-giver, full time, then ease into hire out the care-giving on a part time melding it into the parents live-in home care full time while it's an option, then find a proper home with the right people, at the right time, to provide the right care, at the right place.
and then you can become a son/daughter (or in-law) and smile and enjoy time together..................instead of the care-giver.
sigh.
no one easy answer.
do what you can when you can.
the rest is just time, money, and priorities.
.............and that Sun Downers Syndrome sucks more than anyone could ever know until you go through that horror as a child of an ailing parent.
google it, it's real.
double sigh.
