LadyBella, I couldn't agree with you more. I've always been very close to both of my parents, and I loved my mother dearly, before she passed away. My father is still with us, and I think the world of him, but having spent so much time caring/living with them during illness/recovery, and since just for visits, I know that there is no way on this God given earth that I could have him living with me permanently.
I did begin to resent the time I had to spend away from my own home, and husband, and I missed my own life. And the stress and exhaustion I felt was dreadful. The last thing in the world I would want, would be to feel resentful towards my mother/father. There are better ways to deal with the situation, by getting all the help/care that's available to you, and still be able to provide the love and support that our parents need/deserve, without compromising our own lives & relationships.
A bit of de-cluttering. Now and then
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
