ParticipantDear Natalia:
In regard to “I need to find out some resources here because I’ve never taken care of a sick older person before, don’t know what do expect“-
– there is a member in the forums who takes care of her sick old father, and seems to have lots of information, resources and experience on the topic. There is no way here to send personal messages to members, but if you start your own thread (go to Forums at the top of the page, scroll down to All Forums, choose a Category, etc.), and choose a title that makes the topic clear (caring for a sick, older parent), I bet she’ll notice and reply to you there.
I hope that you calm down best you can, and that you take care of yourself first, before attending to your mother or to your father. If attending to them distresses you too much.. don’t attend to them, at least not in ways that distress you more than you can handle.

ParticipantDear Natalia:
You are always welcome to post here, Natalia!
“My psychiatrist… never tells me and my appointments just get cancelled… her secretary books the appointments and doesn’t check“- I wish everyone did their job attentively and responsibly…!
“My mom decided to book a trip without telling anyone and invited herself to my brother’s house… they had to drop everything to cater to my moms whims!“- she feels entitled.
“I’m so upset , she’s probably going to do this to me next ! Just show up unannounced and expect everyone to drop their daily routine…. I don’t understand why she pretty much thinks she owns me and my brother and our homes, she even shows up at our work unannounced”-
– you wrote six days ago in regard to your mother: “I felt really bad for her that she had to make such ‘sacrifices’ just to bring us to Canada“- I am guessing that she thinks that she owns you and your brother and that she is entitled to show up unannounced to your homes and places of work because of the sacrifices to bring you and your brother to Canada (refuge camp and all), sacrifices she may have repeatedly told you about, so that you feel you owe her..?
“I’m also on the hook to help my dad and will need to help him move in with us as he is losing his rental place a lot sooner and has no where else he can afford to live. I need to find out some resources here because I’ve never taken care of a sick older person before, don’t know what do expect, I’m sick with worry and actually have been having many bad thoughts lately about giving up for good”-
– My goodness, Natalia.. You are under pressure at this time on two fronts: your mother and your father. More worrisome is the latter. It happened in the last few days (after you last posted here) that your father has to leave his apartment?

Good to read back from you, and so soon, thank you. I am staying home this Christmas. I like being home. It is very windy outside.. I just hope to keep my internet.. wouldn’t be much fun being at home with no contact with the outside world!
