My Mother needs advise on caring for my father.
Would anyone be interested in e-mailing her?
If so, please contact me at betseysstore@yahoo.com

Hi Betty,,,rather than having people email your Mom directly,,why dont' you suggest that she come here to the site,,and share her situation.

She would get so much more of a response from so many more folks on here. Perhaps you could put this site into her "favorites" on her computer,,,and with just a click of a button,,,she could come here to the BB and share her load. Peace

I agree whole heartly with Raven..
I know it sure has made a difference in how I deal with things. I read posts that doesn't have anything to do with our situation right now, but feel confident that if and when one of them does. I will have many wonderful people I can turn to. It take a very large burden off of my shoulders just knowing I have someone other than my BF and my Family to turn to.

I am with both Raven and Denise.

If she cannot go on line you can ask questions for her and we can all answer, you can print them and go over them with her. She will then know she has support not only from us, but from you as well.

I think Bonnie and the others have given some excellent advise. So very much more she could get from the threads and responses.
