Brother has at last arrived. Dad wanted to visit mum in hospital today, so I've made them a curry so they don't have to prepare anything when they get back. Heading home to my Linton, cats and chooks 🤗

I've been there for her a lot historically, but received nothing but disdain. I cut ties for my own sake, but feel that there's been a shift and that she realises that I haven't, in fact, had some imagined charmed life.

They're all bad! Hence the "You can choose your friends..." saying 😂 👀

It was so good to have a laugh with her x

I joked with Jan that it's no wonder we're mental when you look at our parents 😂

It was actually really great ❤️

It really is. She's been pretty fucking horrible to me over the years, so I distanced myself after the last vitriolic episode. But today was good.

One thing that has occurred as a result of the parental situation is that my estranged sister came over today to visit Mum in hospital with me. We haven't spoken in years. Ended up having a proper laugh.

Ooh, this is interesting, thank you!

😂 There's an old dear on mum's ward who wanders constantly. She sat on mum's bed during my visit today, admired my tattoos, talked absolute sense a lot of the time. Mum asked if she lived alone and she laughed and said "No, hinny, my mam and dad and brothers are all home!" 🥹

It's hard but has its moments 🥹😂

It'll be hard, but I'd so rather do it now while he can choose to keep the things that will help him feel at home in a new place and get rid of decades of unnecessary stuff. I told him I needed to now before I myself am too knackered to 😂 It was a good conversation tonight. Hard, but good x

I think dad is gradually accepting that he has worsening cognitive decline, which he's yet to admit, but he knows I know & that's enough. It's hard for him, having always been extremely clever. Mum's ailments are physical, & she'll probably outlive us all 😂 So my tactic is to make it all about her.

Thank you. I just feel it's my duty both as a nurse and their daughter. They're impossible and stubborn, but they've always been there for me and I desperately want to be there for them now.
Dad would give me the moon if I asked for it 🥹

If he does agree, then a bridging loan would be the best thing so we can get them moved to not move again. I'm confident the house will sell quickly if empty. For way more than they'd need to buy a smaller place (less than if it were in better condition.) Any advice on this gratefully received 😁

So, so much.

I told him that in all the years I've been asking him to move while it is their choice, before it no longer is, that the time was arriving that it *is* no longer their choice. He actually seemed to hear me. I couldn't be more relieved and also praying to whoever is listening that he'll go for it 🙏
