I was lonely, went online and joined a dating site, perhaps I'd find a man that way who'd be my Mr Right. I met a U.S. businessman who travels far abroad, we have so much in common, he really strikes a chord. I asked him what he...

Jabo Both my son and daughter have keys to my house (it was their childhood home) but I don't have keys to their places. I will do now though, when they go away.

Well 2 weeks have gone by and I wish I had wonderful news but not much has changed. No two days are alike, it is constantly up and down. Al’s mental condition has deteriorated and it has become a struggle to get enough fluids...

Jabo Oh Isabelle, I'm so sorry about what you are going through. I had similar experiences with my husband and there were times when he saw me as 'the enemy' despite all the loving care I was giving him. The real Al is obviously the one who asked Kathy to look...

Hello everyone! I have not been here for 2 days I think. Since Thursday, I started a new part time job as what I have mentioned last time in my discussion. I had to learn waking up at 6 in the morning again. At first it was hard...

Jabo The lady is very lucky to have you to care for her. It's much better for old people to remain in their own homes if at all possible and you are enabling her to do that. Well done.

Jabo Isabelle - when my husband was in the hospital after an operation some years ago he was very aggressive too. It's all to do with the medication- he was getting hallucinations, and like Al, thought the staff were trying to kill him. Happily he recovered...

I am just curious about this because my husband is the love of my life, and there is a 26 year age difference between us! Many people are surprised by that and sometimes when we go places, people think I am his daughter!...

Jabo My husband was only 9 years older than me but some people still thought he was my father, especially towards the end of his life. We were happily married for 53 years.
